Margaret Marshall Saunders

    13 mei 1861 – 15 februari 1947

    Margaret Marshall Saunders was een Canadese auteur, vooral bekend van haar roman "Beautiful Joe". Dit verhaal, verteld vanuit het perspectief van een hond die een moeilijke puppy-ervaring en een wrede eigenaar meemaakte, was het eerste Canadese boek dat een miljoen exemplaren verkocht. Saunders schreef ook meer dan twintig andere werken, waarvan vele sociaal commentaar leverden op onderwerpen als de afschaffing van kinderarbeid en de verbetering van speelplaatsen. Met haar schrijven beoogde ze maatschappelijke problemen te belichten en te pleiten voor een beter leven voor kwetsbaren.
