Woman of Labrador by Andy Vine
Performed by Faith Clarke. From Andy Vine: Elizabeth Goudie (née Blake) [1902-1982] was born in Mud Lake, Labrador, and between 1963 and 1971 wrote her autobiography, Woman Of Labrador (Peter Martin Associates, Ottawa, 1973). Her story of life in the Labrador bush was considered so important for its historical record that she was awarded an honourary doctor of laws degree in 1975 by Memorial University of St. John's, Newfoundland. In 1980 the provincial government building in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, was named after her.
