Faith Fenton, Canada's first woman columnist, lived in Bowmanville's Octagon House
In my latest book, I highlight that the almost-forgotten Faith Fenton, Canada's first woman columnist, spent her high school years in Bowmanville's Octagon House. Jill Downie wrote the definitive biography of Alice Freeman, whose pen name was Faith Fenton, in A Passionate Pen.
My book is available on CreateSpace, Amazon, and soon to appear in ebook format.
