Doris’ Days As our centenary approaches, we take a look at alumni past who stand out in our 100-year tradition of excellence.
“L
ike many feminists, I never dreamed — or wished — to be rich,” Doris Anderson (McCubbin), ’45 BA, ’73 LLD (Honorary), wrote in her 1996 autobiography, Rebel Daughter. “We wanted far more than that: We wanted to change the world.” As editor of Chatelaine magazine for 20 years, as an advocate of political reform and a champion of women’s rights, Anderson did change the world for Canadian women. The only daughter in a family of five children, Anderson grew up in her mother’s boarding house in Calgary. From a young age she bristled against established expectations of women, including her mother’s opinion that the only desirable lifestyle for a woman was marriage and motherhood.

She went to teacher’s college and made enough money teaching to pay her way through the U of A. After graduation Anderson moved to Toronto to begin a career in journalism. She worked in magazines, radio and advertising before becoming editorial assistant in the advertising promotion department at Chatelaine. Six years later she was appointed editor, a job she was given only after she had threatened to quit if management hired another man for the position. At Chatelaine Anderson gave readers the recipes and beauty and parenting tips they expected, but also investigative pieces on issues vital to women, including abortion, birth control, and discriminatory divorce laws. She pushed for a royal commission on the status of women, and through editorials and articles exposed horrors such as child abuse and racism. Under her leadership circulation more than quadrupled by the late 1960s to 1.8 million readers while providing a way to get feminist ideas to Canadian women.
