Transformation

Writing for the benefit of her descendants, Bev Vollmer tells the story of her life -- from childhood to senior citizen, from city girl to rural newspaper columnist. Through stories, humour, and excerpts from her local newspaper column, the author covers the sixty years from 1940 onward as she goes from living in the Kitchener area to a Perth County farm, then on to a small town. She gives voice to women outgrowing the conventions of the times. This is a valuable asset for exploring and preserving a rare view of Ontario history -- life from a woman's perspective.
