- catalog abstract ""Raincoast Chronicles 20: Lilies and Fireweed explores a subject historians have avoided far too long: the instrumental role aboriginal and pioneer women played in the making of British Columbia." "From hospitals to dance halls, from the classroom to the cannery floor, this pictorial history examines indigenous and immigrant women's positions in the workplace, home and wilderness. We meet 17-year-old Frances Barkley, who insisted on accompanying her husband on a merchant voyage to British Columbia in 1786 and twice circumnavigated the world; Lady Amelia Douglas, the half-Cree wife of Governor James Douglas, who played her own important role in the forging of British Columbia; Mrs. Washiji Oya, the first Japanese woman to settle in Canada in 1887; and Maria Pollard Grant, who, in 1895, became the first woman elected to public office in B.C." "Brimming with historical photographs and packed with unforgettable stories of women surviving in the unforgiving environment of early British Columbia, Lillies and Fireweed is based on award-winning journalist Stephen Hume's popular series "Frontier Women of B.C.," which appeared in the Vancouver Sun in 2002"--Jacket.".
