In this article, Bettina Bradbury reflects on how she became a feminist family historian in Canada. She relates the historical twists that led her to leave New Zealand with a Bachelor of Arts in English and sociology, undertake a Master of Arts in history at Simon Fraser, and then complete a Doctor of Philosophy in history at Concordia University. She attributes her contributions to history and women's studies to the importance of feminist mentors and pioneers and links her changing interests as a historian to the epistemological shifts of the last three decades and to turning points in her own life
