Praise for Rebellious Women in the Maritimes

James Mullinger, Maritime [EDIT] Magazine:
“An essential purchase for anyone with even a passing interest in Atlantic Canada and its bizarre, checkered, fascinating, and often surprisingly hilarious history.”

Mackenzie Common, author of The Lives of Desperate Girls:
“Andrew MacLean tells the absorbing stories that you wish you had learned in history class. A tour through his Maritimes is like the museum you always hoped to find.”

Anne-Marie LaPointe:
“Glad to find Backyard History’s interesting, real Canadian history stories! Love it all even if I’m in Ontario.”

Jon Bowie:
“Backyard History brought such a unique voice to a young generation of Maritimers, illuminating a rich history of stories and storytelling!”

Cheryl Urquhart Tait:
“My wish is that children in school could all have access to your work. What a way to hook them on history and no better place to start than in their home province.”

About the Book

Perfect for history lovers and casual readers alike, Rebellious Women in the Maritimes uncovers the untold stories of seventeen courageous women who dared to stand up, speak out, and break free from the constraints of their times, shaping the history of the Maritimes.

At 282 pages, this is the longest Backyard History book yet. It digs deep into the stories of forgotten heroines like Shediac socialite Janet Webster who fought with the French Resistance during the Second World War, Beryl Markham’s record-breaking flight that crashed in Cape Breton, and teenage Annie Parker solving a murder mystery in Moncton.

This is the book’s third print run, in a brand new second edition. Printed in Canada.
