Matthew Whitworth-Aylmer, 5th Baron Aylmer

Without doubt he was politically inept but much criticism of him was unfair. He cannot be held responsible for the crisis in Lower Canada that led to the REBELLIONS OF 1837.

Maud Lewis

Maud Kathleen Lewis (née Dowley), artist (born 7 March 1901 or 1903 in Yarmouth, NS; died 30 July 1970 in Digby, NS). Maud Lewis was a Canadian painter and folk artist. Her artistic talents were largely hidden throughout much of her life — a result of poverty, shyness and social anxiety brought on by suffering from severe birth defects. Often referred to as Canada’s Grandma Moses, Lewis came to national prominence in the mid-1960s, just a few years before her death. Her work, which has been sold at auctions and been featured on postage stamps, has become widely popular. The small house where she lived and worked is on permanent display at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.

Maude Abbott

Maude Elizabeth Seymour Abbott, cardiac pathologist, physician, curator (born 18 March 1868 in St. Andrews East, QC; died 2 September 1940 in Montreal, QC). Maude Abbott is known as the author of The Atlas of Congenital Cardiac Disease (1936), a groundbreaking text in cardiac research. Though Abbott graduated in arts from McGill University (1890), she was barred from studying medicine at McGill because of her gender. Instead, she attended Bishop’s College (now Bishop’s University), earning a medical degree in 1894. As assistant curator of the McGill Medical Museum (1898), and curator (1901), she revolutionized the teaching of pathology by using the museum as an instructional tool. Abbott’s work paved the way for women in medicine and laid the foundation for modern heart surgery. (See also Women in STEM).
