- Women we buried, women we burned : a memoir / by Snyder, Rachel Louise,author.;
"A memoir of survival, self-discovery, and forgiveness. For decades, Rachel Louise Snyder has been a fierce advocate reporting on the darkest social issues that impact women's lives. Women We Buried, Women We Burned is her own story. Snyder was eight years old when her mother died, and her distraught father thrust the family into an evangelical, cult-like existence halfway across the country. Furiously rebellious, she was expelled from school and home at age 16. Living out of her car and relying on strangers, Rachel found herself masquerading as an adult, talking her way into college, and eventually travelling the globe. Survival became her reporter's beat. In places like India, Tibet, and Niger, she interviewed those who had been through the unimaginable. In Cambodia, where she lived for six years, she watched a country reckon with the horrors of its own recent history. When she returned to the States with a family of her own, it was with a new perspective on old family wounds, and a chance for healing from the most unexpected place. A piercing account of Snyder's journey from teenage runaway to reporter on the global epidemic of domestic violence, Women We Buried, Women We Burned is a memoir that embodies the transformative power of resilience"-- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Snyder, Rachel Louise.; Family violence; Journalists; Victims of family violence.; Women authors; Women journalists;

- An unrecognized contribution : women and their work in 19th-century Toronto / by Muir, Elizabeth Gillan,1934-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Celebrating women's contributions to early Toronto. Women in nineteenth-century Toronto were integral to the life of the growing city. They contributed to the city's commerce and were owners of stores, factories, brickworks, market gardens, hotels, and taverns; as musicians, painters, and writers, they were a large part of the city's cultural life; and as nurses, doctors, religious workers, and activists they strengthened the city's safety net for those who were most in need. Their stories are told in this wide-ranging collection of biographies, the result of Muir's search of early street directories, the first city histories, personal diaries, and other documents, highlighting scores of women and the work they undertook during a period of great change for the city."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Women employees; Women employees; Women; Women; Women; Women; Women;
