TADA !!! After 18 years I have finally completed what began as an investigation and journey into the past - and then became a manuscript and now is about to be published as a book. I'm delighted to introduce you to...
Vancouver's Women in Blue
Trailblazers of the Vancouver Police Department 1904-1975.
For those of you who journeyed with us as we bravely took on Mother Nature and the forces of the Pacific Ocean...this might sound like a bit of a 'yawn', BUT I can tell you that, even I, did not fully appreciate the challenges faced by the women who marched boldly into law enforcement between the early 1900's and right up to 1975. Women still face resistance in various forms today, but the environment has improved considerably.
So, for those of you interested in learning about the often twisted path the evolution of women in the largest police department in B.C. took; and about the individual women who served and some of their stories, please visit www.ruddyduckpress.ca and find more information about the book and how to order it.
While you're there, check out the author's website ( cjdaley.ca) and have a peek at the books I'm working on now.
