The L.M. Montgomery Institute is thrilled to share that Elizabeth R. Epperly, founder of the L. M. Montgomery Institute, has been appointed to the Order of Canada by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon, Governor General of Canada.
A trailblazing scholar and dedicated administrator, Dr. Epperly has transformed the study of L.M. Montgomery, offering some of the first feminist readings of Montgomery’s work and inspiring generations of researchers and readers worldwide. Her pioneering work has not only deepened our understanding of Montgomery’s literature but also helped elevate Canadian literary studies on the world stage.
