Summary:  "Halifax painter Jo Napier created the Nova Scotia Nine portrait series that inspired this book. The Nova Scotia Nine is a collection of large-scale, contemporary paintings of women who lived extraordinary lives and made a difference here in Nova Scotia. The nine women featured in this collection have passed into history, but their legacies continue. In the stories gathered here, you will meet a current generation of women who are, in various ways, following in the footsteps of the Nova Scotia Nine and blazing their own remarkable trails." The Nova Scotia Nine portraits grew out of a desire to teach my young daughter, Julia, what women can do," says Jo. "When I tried to think of stories about great women of Nova Scotia, not many came to mind. No great stories bubbled up." Jo wanted her daughter -- and any young woman -- to be able to "look up at a large, beautiful painting and discover a female face" and a powerful story. "The idea was pretty simple: paint women who made a difference in the world. And show other young women they could do the same." Jo is a Halifax native who studied at Vancouver's Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design."--From Page 1 of text. Other authors:  Napier, Jo.
