A Whisper Past: Childless after Eugenic Sterilization in Alberta, a memoir by Leilani Muir. (2014) by Leilani Muir
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Leilani Muir's memoir is the candid story of a brave and remarkable woman who triumphed "against all odds."Her name has become familiar to Canadians over the past decade, since she captured sympathetic attention as the first-and to date, the only-person to successfully sue the Alberta Government for wrongful sterilization.In 1996 the presiding judge on her case ruled in her favour, going so far as to describe the Government's actions as offensive.The trial had relied, in part, on Muir's diary, which she wrote in trying to make sense of her past.In this diary, she recorded information about her life from childhood to the time of the trial.That diary served as an early draft of her memoir.The success of the trial and the recognition that Muir received since that time, through speaking tours, a political campaign, and gratitude from within the local community in Alberta, encouraged her to continue to transform her diary into a memoir.With the help of friends, and editorial guidance from Doug Wahlsten, the book was published bringing her story "up to date."Muir's story has been documented in many forms of media: she has been a) the focus of a documentary by Glynis Whiting distributed by the National Film Board of Canada, b) interviewed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and other Canadian media, c) the focal point of academic projects, d) the center of theatrical productions, and e) the center of legal records.Although those interpretations reinforce a level of shock at the vicious encounters she had throughout her life, this book differs from those other accounts since it is her life in her own words.Muir portrayed convincingly a past that gives her every right to be outraged, even bitter, but hers is a story of faith and forgiveness.Muir was born on July 5, 1944 in Calgary, Alberta.The truth about her family is unclear; she lived on several farms with people she believed to be her mother, father (or stepfather), as well as boys that were her brothers and/or cousins.She was the middle child, and the only girl in the family.Muir's account of her early life explains that her mother did not want her, showing this by the abuse she caused her.The gritty details of her life are often troubling, as Muir tells her readers about the starvation, beatings, humiliation, fear, and berating that took place daily.She slept in the farm granary, stole meals from the pig troughs, and was made to kneel in forgiveness on grains of wheat, which cut into her bony knees.She was rarely allowed to go to school and seldom was seen by doctors.Her mother treated her with contempt.By age 10 or 11 Muir's mother succeeded in having her placed in a home for what at the time

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
