Abstract
One of Canada's leading journalists, Michele Landserg has always demonstrated her concern for the full development of all individuals. Her curiosity, determination, and sense of social justice were obvious when as a Toronto teenager in the 1950s, she badgered the public librarian often enough to secure access to a restricted copy of Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex. These characteristics have assisted her during her years as a contributor to Chatelaine, The Toronto Star, and The Globe and Mail. Her columns for The Toronto Star were published in the popular Women and Children First.
