"The editors' introductions to each article are particularly valuable. These address succinctly the general contours of the article's historiographical context, provide citations that are extremely useful for students researching paper topics, and draw students' attention to key themes and connections to other articles in the reader." --Carmen Nielson, Mount Royal University

"Rethinking Canada presents a multiplicity of women's histories from a variety of social locations that allows feminist and critical race educators to examine the intersectionality of women's experiences with their students." --Elizabeth Brulé, York University
