Publisher's Summary
That's fer damshur!
She came to Canada in a homemade dress with pictures of cowboys she might marry. But instead of a quiet prairie existence, she found a life filled with politics, printer's ink, and possibilities always vergin' on the verge.
Margaret Lally Murray was a 100 percent emancipated woman and British Columbia's first and most memorable female publisher. She taught Canada that an honest opinion, salted with commonsense, can shake governments and help shape a nation.
Not only did "Ma" Murray create newspapers from Vancouver to Fort St. John, she electioneered alongside her politician husband for years and through several provincial and federal elections, making friends and enemies out of premiers and prime ministers along the way.
