Kathryn Carter is acting dean at Laurier Brantford where she has taught English and contemporary studies. Her research on women’s diaries led to an edited collection, The Small Details of Life: Twenty Diaries by Women in Canada: 1830–1996 (2002), and recent articles that address the 1830 letter journal of Frances Simpson (in Australian–Canadian Studies), the 1930s diary of Myrtle Gamble Knister (in the Journal of Canadian Studies), and diaries written by schoolgirls in Canada at the end of the nineteenth century (in Canadian Children’s Literature).
