Updated 14 October 2014
This list has been superseded by the Database of Canada’s Early Women Writers, a simpler database which includes the names and basic information for all of the Canadian women authors who published up to and including 1950, whether or not we have complete information. The new database is currently under construction; it should be populated with our existing data by the end of June 2017.
We have completed entries for the following authors. Some of these authors currently have entries in the Canada’s Early Women Writers database held at Simon Fraser University library. This database was originally compiled before the Internet was a significant resource for academic research; hence, we are currently also in the process of augmenting the information in these authors’ files.
Each list item includes the author’s name, life dates, and known alternate names.
