Full bibliography

Rebel and raconteuse, activist and author, Claire Culhane'is a Canadian original. In a life that has spanned most of the twentieth century, this remarkable woman played a part in many of the headline-making social struggles of our time: the Spanish civil war; the women’s movement; the FQ crisis; the war in Vietnam; and the British Columbia prison riot of 1976. Her current campaign for prison abolition stems from an on-going personal and political struggle against authority. Described as compassionate and incorruptible by her friends, infuriating and unforgiving by her enemies, Culhane has touched the lives of thousands of ordinary Canadians and been resolutely shunned by the Canadian establishment. Hers is a story of rare courage, of heartbreak and struggle, and, ultimately, of triumph over adversity. Claire Culhane is living proof that even in these cynical and dispririted times, one person can still make a difference. --Publisher's description
