As part of the NQ's "Lives of Our Girls and Women" issue we thought to include a series of "Portraits", short bios on significant women in our history. We'll try and find some unsung heroines, but even prominent figures like Stella Burry and Margaret Duley deserve a shout-out as well. Just Googling "Famous Newfoundland and Labrador Women" throws up some intriguing names, including Demasduit, lately both a character in Kevin Major's new novel (New Under The Sun), and the inspiration for a song by Great Big Sea.

P. S. Almost forgot - look for us at the Sparks Literary Festival this coming Sunday.
