Margaret Marshall Saunders

Margaret Marshall Saunders (1861-1947), born in Milton, Nova Scotia, the daughter of a Baptist minister, studied in Edinburgh and Orléans before returning to live in Halifax. She signed herself Marshall Saunders so as to pass for a man with readers. Her later books remained devoted to the fate of animals and to several social causes, including the abolition of child labour and supervised playgrounds in cities. In the twenties she travelled across Canada and the United States with her sister, giving illustrated lectures on her animals and on the animal cause. She died in Toronto.
