Viking Boys
Jessie Margaret nee Edmondston Saxby (1842-1940), was born into a prominent family in Shetland, which had sprung from one of the Scottish ministers who acquired land in the islands in the 16th century, one Andrew, of Crail in Fife. Jessie married Henry Saxby, a doctor and a naturalist, at the age of seventeen, and lived with him at Halligarth and later at Ernesdaal in Baltasound. The family moved to Inverary in Argyllshire in 1871, but Henry was already ill and Jessie was widowed in the summer of 1873, just two days after the birth of her sixth child. She moved to Edinburgh, where she was president of the Orkney and Shetland Association, and there became a professional writer, supporting her family by means of a huge output of literary works, ranging from poems and novels to journalism, articles and pamphlets. She was a mentor to the brilliant young Unst poet, Basil R Anderson, who died tragically young, and edited a volume of his work posthumously.

The Feminine Gaze
Many Canadian women fiction writers have become justifiably famous. But what about women who have written non-fiction? When Anne Innis Dagg set out on a personal quest to make such non-fiction authors better known, she expected to find just a few dozen. To her delight, she unearthed 473 writers who have produced over 674 books. These women describe not only their country and its inhabitants, but a remarkable variety of other subjects: from the story of transportation to the legacy of Canadian missionary activity around the world. While most of the writers lived in what is now Canada, other authors were British or American travellers who visited Canada throughout the years and reported on what they found here. This compendium has brief biographies of all these women, short descriptions of their books, and a comprehensive index of their books’ subject matters. The Feminine Gaze: A Canadian Compendium of Non-Fiction Women Authors and Their Books, 1836-1945 will be an invaluable research tool for women’s studies and for all who wish to supplement the male gaze on Canada’s past.
