When in Doubt, Do Both: The Times of My Life

Kay Macpherson, born in Britain and trained as a physiotherapist, devoted most of her life to working with women and for women. An international figure, she was most active in Canada. In the fight for peace, she fought governments and the armaments industry. She was president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, lobbying for government action on a Royal Commission Report. She campaigned for office as a feminist and a socialist. She served as a Director of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. When invited to address the UN, she had to fight to be allowed into the USA. Known for her unbounded energy, the title accurately describes her style. Her anecdotes serve as a "who's who" of women leaders, in numerous causes and most continents. Above all they illustrate the strength of humour which sustained women who took on entrenched (and frequently arrogant) power.
