"Dobson and Simms’s Girl Takes Drastic Step! celebrates not only the work of Molly Lamb Bobak but that of all of the other servicewomen too. We are marking the 80th anniversary of many key events of the last year of the war this year and Girl Takes Drastic Step! is a wonderful book that will help a whole new generation learn about Canada’s role in World War II." Christina Barber for The Miramichi Reader
