Aggie’s Voice

Aggie’s Voice by Donna Mann is the story of Agnes Macphail.

In 1908, knowing that women teachers faced restrictions and unequal pay, Agnes lived
her determination. At Stratford Collegiate, she told fellow students, “I believe that one’s ability, attitude and natural gifts dictate a direction a student should go.” To Aunt Maggie, whose home she shared while attending Stratford Normal School, Agnes declared, “I want to be the best teacher I can be.”

Aggie’s Voicefollows Agnes through practice teaching, promenades with her beau, and hergrowing awareness of society’s problems . . . and her commitment to become a strong voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Donna Mann has recreated Agnes Macphail’s childhood in Aggie’s Storms and her Owen Sound years in Aggie’s Dream. Now, Aggie’s Voice completes the trilogy.
