Until now, biographies of the feminist and anarchist Emma Goldman (1869–1940) have paid scant attention to her three periods of residence in Canada (1926–28, 1933–35 and 1939–40), even though these were some of her most productive years as an activist, speaker and organizer. In the United States, Goldman was notorious as "Red Emma" and "the most dangerous woman in America" because of her advanced anti-authoritarian views. In fact, she was "the world’s most dangerous woman" in the sense that she immersed herself in local issues wherever she was exiled, and was accepted as a public personality to a degree that would seem astounding in today’s mainstream press. In researching this new biography of Emma Goldman, Theresa Moritz and Albert Moritz have scoured previously ignored private papers in Europe and the United States, and a wealth of indigenous resources long unknown to, or undervalued by, anarchists and feminists. The result is virtually a fresh interpretation of Goldman’s influential and troubled life, and a valuable piece of social history as well.

The reputation of Stephen Leacock as Canada's best-loved humorist started with the publication of his Literary Lapses in 1910. Reviewers raved about the book, and by the time his Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town appeared in 1912, Leacock was being hailed as the Canadian Mark Twain and compared to Charlie Chaplin. Despite Leacock's early hardships, what is certain is that the story of this Canadian immigrant is remarkable. A boy who loved to read went on to write more than 60 books. A boy who loved to laugh went on to world celebrity for his gift for making other people laugh. A boy who came to Canada pining for his birthplace went on to choose Canada as his place in the world.
