Bennett Jones’ Anne McLellan and Rose Carter are two of the illustrious contributors to Truth be Told: An Anthology of Inspirational Stories by Women in the Law. Anne and Rose joined the book launch at the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Law and Rose spoke at the event. Truth be Told contains 114 inspirational personal stories by women in the law, with a focus on Albertan female lawyers and members of the judiciary. In their contributions to the book:
- Anne shared her experiences of growing up in the Sixties, as the feminist movement began and as the fight for civil rights took to the streets.
- Rose wrote on overcoming childhood poverty and related childhood challenges while living in various institutions as an abandoned child from age six.
Truth be Told is a non-profit endeavour. Any book sale proceeds remaining after production expenses are paid will be maintained by Alberta Civil Trial Lawyers Association for future Women’s Legal Forum events.
