How do you go about choosing the greatest women in Canadian history?

At Canada’s History, we asked six distinguished women to come up with a list of thirty, out of which they would choose their Top Ten and Top Twenty.

Their results surprised some people, including one of the judges.

Listen to this podcast with writer and historian Charlotte Gray, who was on the judging panel.
