"Resilience and Triumph" provides readers with an eye-opening glimpse into 50 years of immigrant women's lives in Canada

A collection of true stories from 54 radicalized immigrant and refugee women create an eclectic mix of three generations of voices. Women in their 20s to those in their 70s provide snapshots that begin in the 1960s and go to the present. Together these vividly recounted entries capture historical and everyday moments that reveal striking similarities and differences. Resilience and Triumph provides readers with an eye-opening glimpse into 50 years of immigrant women's lives in Canada.

I really got a lot out of this rich, perceptive, varied collection dealing with very current and relevant issues -- immigration, identity, integration and barriers to it -- to name a few. And how women negotiate these realities. The last two sections touch upon feminist theory and activism, but in an accessible manner. I found the section that contains voices of 2nd generation women particularly interesting (section III). - Veena Gokhale
