In Times Like These

by Nellie Lillian McClung, Veronica Strong-Boag (Introduction)

Overview

Nellie McClung's fourth book, In Times Like These, written in 1915, survives as a classic formulation of a feminist position. With hard-hitting rhetoric it demands women's rights as a logical extension of traditional views of female moral superiority and maternal responsibility.
