Signed by the author on the title page. Book in excellent condition.

Rosemary Brown was Canada's first Black female member of a provincial legislature and the first woman to run for leadership of a federal political party. Brown received many national and international distinctions in recognition of her exceptional life of public service. This included a total of 15 honorary doctorates from Canadian universities, the Order of British Columbia (1995), the Order of Canada (Officer, 1996), and in 1973 the United Nations' Human Rights Fellowship. On 2 February 2009, Canada Post Corporation issued a commemorative stamp that shows Brown standing before the B.C. Legislative Building.
