Mary Macgregor

    L'œuvre de cette auteure explore l'intersection de la pensée religieuse et de la conscience sociale, dans le but d'améliorer la vie des pauvres et des non instruits. Ses récits examinent souvent les tensions qui surgissent entre les colons écossais et irlandais, ainsi que les profonds effets de l'éducation et de l'urbanisation sur la société rurale. Elle a adopté un nom de plume pour distinguer son identité littéraire de celle d'une autre écrivaine. En tant que contributrice au renouveau de l'écriture féminine canadienne, sa voix est regroupée aux côtés d'autres auteures importantes de son époque.
