Über den Autor
Ruth Fenner and Helen Geissinger share a fascination with the accomplishments of Madge Watt. The authors met after Ruth's prize-winning essay about Madge Watt caught Helen's attention. Both know that Madge's work and successes have been overlooked, perhaps because of the many stresses in Canadians' lives. Ruth has been a member of the Women's Institute (WI) in British Columbia for a number of years and has helped write a history of their first 100 years in the province. She has been a radio personality as well as enjoying a regular online presence on the BCWI website. Helen's connections with Madge Watt are through the family. Madge is her great-aunt and was a strong presence in her life when Helen was very young so she shares stories that throw light on how Madge Watt came to earn her accolade in Canada as a Person of National Historic Significance.
