Abstract

Eve Zaremba (born 1930), a Polish Canadian feminist writer and activist, business owner, and marketing executive, has earned a place in the history of Canadian women's struggle for equality. Through her involvement in the founding and publishing of the feminist newspaper Broadside: A Feminist Review (1979–1989), she was able to bring readers' attention to many social issues, and by writing a series of detective stories featuring a lesbian detective, she earned the distinction of creating the first openly lesbian PI in the detective genre. Her autobiography, The Broad Side: Reflections on a Long Life, examines closely the forces that shaped her personality, especially her childhood in prewar Warsaw, her intellectual parents, the horror of World War II, and her education in Scotland.
