Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.6 MB
Overview: Elizabeth Smith Shortt was one of the first three women to obtain a medical degree in Canada, and her husband, Adam
Shortt, enjoyed a successful career as a professor of politics and economics at Queen’s University in Kingston. In 1908 Adam Shortt relocated his family to Ottawa to take up a commission to oversee civil service reform under Prime
Minister Wilfrid Laurier. There he convinced his superiors that an onsite investigation of four European countries would expedite his effort to improve Canada’s bureaucracy, and in June 1911 he and Elizabeth embarked on their trip.
This book chronicles their Atlantic crossing and extended visit to England, as
well as trips to Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands.
