Give Your Other Vote to the Sister: A Woman's Journey Into the Great War, tells the story of Roberta MacAdams, one of the first two women elected to a legislature anywhere in the British Empire (Alberta, 1917). MacAdams' triumph was extraordinary. Not only did she run while serving as a nursing sister overseas during the Great War, but over 90% of her electors were men -- Alberta soldiers stationed in England and in the muddy trenches of the Western Front. Give Your Other Vote to the Sister describes MacAdams' journey overseas, her work at a large military hospital, and the personal sacrifices she endured during the war. It also chronicles Debbie Marshall's own journey to reclaim MacAdams' life--one that took her across Canada and to the places where MacAdams lived and worked in England and France. Give Your Other Vote to the Sister can be ordered through any bookstore or can be found at Greenwoods Bookstore and Laurie Greenwoods Volume II Bookstore in Edmonton.

"[Marshall's] work in responding to the challenge of exploring a little-known life should be an inspiration to other students of history … people across Canada will find it a pleasant way to become better acquainted with an attractive, interesting and unfamiliar contributor to our history." Desmond Morton, McGill University "Marshall put in years of detective work, painstakingly piecing together MacAdams' story through photos and documents left behind by her friends and relatives. What emerges is a portrait of an accidental revolutionary in revolutionary times." Paula Simons, Edmonton Journal
