Stevie Cameron

  Biographical

Writers are invariably influenced by their own experience. Cameron's biography at the Prince Edward School Board web site may shed some light on where Cameron is coming from.

A second biography appears courtesy the International Festival of Authors.

  Cultural

As in "Our Daughters, Ourselves", Cameron's writing is often very controversial. Many applaud her work; many others deplore it. "Dishing the Dirt" by Larry Zolf of the CBC investigates Cameron from an outside point of view.

The Hon. Bob Rae spoke of Cameron's article in the Ontario Legislative Assembly, as recorded in this transcription, under the heading, "ANNIVERSARY OF SHOOTING IN MONTREAL"

The "Montreal massacre" spurred more writers than Cameron to put their thoughts on page. This annotated index of web sites about the tragedy and other domestic violence links to writing by journalists, psychologists, and other professionals.

  Bibliographical

Cameron's article "Offshore Billions" appears in Foreign Property Reporting Library. How is the approach similar to "Our Daughters, Ourselves"? How is it different?

A business letter from Cameron (during her days as Editor-in-Chief of Elm Street) appears on the recipient's web site. Does Cameron's writing style as a journalist show through in her correspondence?
