Penney Kome - Commentary

Commentary

Of Women of Influence, University of Toronto Professor Sylvia Bashevkin wrote:

"Penney Kome's contributions to research on Canadian women are numerous and varied, beginning with her books on housework (Somebody Has to do It) and the constitution (The Taking of Twenty-Eight), and continuing through her most recent study of the political process. Women of Influence offers a valuable introduction to women's history from the suffragist period through the present; it is full of useful information as well as lively anecdotes, and is easily accessible to general readers."

Of Wounded Workers, the Canadian Labour Congress director of Occupational Health and Safety, Dave Bennett, wrote:

"Penney Kome has produced a wide-ranging and well researched account of the epidemic of musculoskeletal injury among workers in North America, an epidemic little known to the general public...This will be the best guide to musculo-skeletal injury for years to come...."
