This is a little bigger than just a Guelph memory, but also specific to Guelph... Does anyone know about the "Farmerettes"? Bonnie Sitter has unearthed a little know sucess story about young Canadian women pitching in during WWII... it became a book and a play and now documentary maker Colin Field has produced the movie WE LEND A HAND that's about to premier April 4th at the Junction North International Film Festival.
The trailer is online, featuring Guelph's own Betty Lou Clark. https://youtu.be/9ImJcqxbZgs?si=AkIaDSecU2CN7LKP
What other Guelph and area women were farmerettes? Who's mothers and grandmothers and great grandmothers stepped up?
