Summary:
Miss Confederation records the diary of Mercy Coles, the daughter of PEI delegate George Coles, which provides a window into the social happenings and political manoeuvrings that led to Canada's creation.
"Canada's journey to Confederation kicked off with a bang - or rather, a circus, a Civil War (American), a small fortune's worth of champagne, and a lot of making love in the old-fashioned sense (courting, that is). A rare opportunity to look back through a woman's eyes at the men and events at the centre of this pivotal time in Canada's history. Mercy Coles, the daughter of PEI delegate George Coles, kept a diary of the social happenings and political manoeuvrings as they affected her and her desires. Her diary offers a window into the events that led to Canada's creation, from a point of view that has long been neglected. Anne McDonald is the author of the novel To the Edge of the Sea and the play Lullabies and Cautions. She teaches theatre and creative writing in Regina, Saskatchewan."--Provided by publisher.
