Synopsis

Constance (Connie) Skinner Davie lived at a time in history when women were seen and not heard. Most women were mere appendages on the arms of their husbands, but she managed to carve a place for herself in the raw political arena of a province in Canada that was slowly emerging from colonialism in the 1870s.

As one of the first white children born in British Columbia in 1853, she was a curious child. As a young woman living in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, she was a passionate woman. As a spokesperson and activist, she looked out for the underdog and for the Indigenous people.

At a time of major political reconstruction in British Columbia, Canada, she offered her controversial opinions without fear of being silenced. A woman far ahead of her time, she believed in justice for all.

The story of "Connie", a wife, mother and political activist, is full of adventure and passion. She was a woman who broke sexual barriers in the 19th century in a unique way.

Most importantly she paved the way for women in politics everywhere.
