 Women in History

The “Women in History” exhibit looks at the contributions women made to the war efforts during both the First and Second World Wars. 

One of the ways that Billy Bishop’s niece, Mary Worth Bishop, contributed was by joining the Canadian Women’s Army Corps in June, 1943.  Mary  served overseas as a stenographer and was also one of 6 women chosen to assist in the publicity work for the 5th Victory Loan drive. 

To learn more about the contributions made by Mary and other women, be sure to tour the Museum and see the new exhibit.
