Susanna Moodie (born Strickland; 6 December 1803 – 8 April 1885) was an English-born Canadian author who wrote about her experiences as a settler in Canada, which was a British colony at the time.
Reading about another woman's life experience is always interesting and often informative. This was all that and intense: historical lyrics, emotionally and practically. Also great sadness rose up in me for all the natural beauty and purity of nature that we have destroyed and all the still unrighted wrongs we inflicted on the indigenous peoples.
