June 2: Carol Shields Would Have Turned 90 Today
We are proud to continue her legacy of uplifting women’s writing and stories.
Carol Shields, a Canadian American writer, was generous with her time, support, and advice.
She kept on creating throughout her life, even if wider, well-deserved recognition only came later in life: she was near 60 when she won the Governor’s General Award and The Pulitzer Prize for The Stone Diaries.
