Canuck, by Camille Lessard Bissonnette, (1883-1970),
translated by Sue Huseman and Sylvie Charron,
is a book which reflects the French Canadian immigration
experience from a young woman's point of view.
The protagonist, Vic, is a very modern young

many things in her new country, the U.S.
La Jeune Franco-Américaine, The Young Franco-American
by Alberte Gastonguay, (1906-1978),
translated by Madeleine C. Paré Roy,
is a study of the life of a young woman
who is seeking her way in the world.
She meets many suitors and comes to the
conclusion of a satisfactory ending
in the ways of traditional culture.
Françaises d'Amérique, Frenchwomen of North America
by Corinne Rocheleau Rouleau, (1881-1963),
translated by Jeannine Bacon Roy,
