From Burton to Barton, part 19: A Foot in Both Worlds

In this episode, Julie Miller and François Roy look beyond black and white definitions to talk about three women who lived outside of the box, in a "grey zone," with a foot in at least two worlds, sometimes more.  Whether  it was because of their family origins or through their own choices, these three individuals had the courage to define themselves beyond the strict roles dictated to them by the society they were a part of.  You'll meet Helene Elliott, of Hunterstown, a "frontier, wild-west-type" logging town in the Mauricie: Louise Vanasse of Rivière du Loup (now Louiseville) whose journey of self-determination took her to Halifax and LIverpool; and Lesley Joy Whitehead, who enlisted in the Serbian Army during WWI and saw action on the front.
