I have written many posts and columns about pioneering women in Manitoba history and those who gave their lives in the service of helping others. Here are just a few of them.
Evelyn Bertie Gibson, Winnipeg's first female real estate agent.
Margaret Konantz, Manitoba's first female Member of Parliament.
Sally Warnock of Aunt Sally's Farm
Mary Staub, Winnipeg Transit's first female bus driver
Dr. Margaret Ellen Douglass of the Winnipeg Women's Volunteer Reserve
Kay Middleton, the Winnipeg Tribune's Home Economics editor
Nursing Sister Miriam Eastman Baker who died in the First World War
Nursing Sister Margaret Lowe who died in the First World War
Winnifred G. Goulding, was just one of around twenty women who died tending to others during the 1918-19 influenza epidemic. Read about more of them here.
