Summary: Emily Garr's accomplishments as a painter and writer assure her prominence in the Canadian cultural scene. Her works inspire others in their own creative efforts. The gentle, irascible, passionate, poetic voice of Emily Carr resonates through her writings today, even more strongly than before. Her attitudes and observations were ahead of her time on native issues, because of the important role native Northwest Coast culture played in her art and life, and on feminism, as a woman who surmounted gender prejudice to achieve her goals with such distinction. Her deep commitment to nature in all its manifestations speaks to the environmental dilemmas that face us now.
