"...Filled with moral outrage at the devastating domestic situations faced by two of her students' mothers, Pearl plunges into the work of winning a public commitment to justice for women. Through lovely prose that celebrates "labor-honed" faces, domestic detail, changing weather, and the value of humor, we accompany Pearl through her struggle to maintain her belief in love and marriage while she fights to win disenfranchised Canadian women a legal voice."
(J.L., p. 240)
