Caroline, an independent woman climbing the ladder, learns the true meaning of love and family. Susan is seen to be a goody two-shoes with a black-and-white God. Margaret is a young widow who finds herself moving into a new town without family. Yet she learns self-reliance and to cling to her faith. Robert, sort of an orphan, has lived in foster homes all his life. His parents are in prison and have given up rights long ago. John is a widower with two young girls and finds that true love is not just a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Phillip, Frances, Lee, and Barbara are parents who learn the true meaning of letting go.

“I Was the Only Woman”
Author: Sue Hendler
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774825898
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
“I was the only woman.” These words appear again and again in the stories of women planners working in Canada from the 1940s to the 1970s. Despite their small numbers, women were active in the Community Planning Association of Canada and the Town Planning Institute of Canada (later called the Canadian Institute of Planners) during those years. This book tells their stories, expanding our understanding of what constitutes “planning” and who counts as “planners.” It challenges us to re-evaluate not only the profession’s past, but also its role in creating a more inclusive and equitable future.
