Dictionary of Canadian Biography/ Dictionaire Bibliographique Du Canada

Volume XV is the third of the 20th-century volumes of the DCB/DBC. Carefully prepared by 446 biographers, the 619 lives chronicled here contribute to the story of a complex society that is increasingly grounded in the realities of the century: the changing character of the population and the shift towards cities, the expanding roles of women, the political voice of workers, technical innovation, and the conflict and convergence of Canada's two great nationalist currents.
