Grace Annie Lockhart: A StoryMap
A quick search for Lockhart’s name reveals that she earned a Bachelor’s degree in sciences and English literature in 1875 from Mount Allison University, the first for any woman in the British Empire. This is where biographical entries on Lockhart end, because very little is known of her life after graduation.

Margaret Ecker
Journalism in the early 20th century was not an easy career path for women. Social rules and etiquette dictated that a woman not concern herself with “troubling news” of death or politics. In the face of this gender-based discrimination, Canadian newspaper reporter Margaret Ecker rebelled against restrictions placed on her movements and built a place for herself in the field of journalism.
