        'Winding Trails' explores how childhood influences, educational experiences, and pragmatic choices led its author into an interest in History, then teaching, and finally a decision to pursue a doctorate in History, focusing on the history of public schooling in Ontario. The 1970s introduced feminism into the mix. Pursuing her growing interest in the history of women and education, the author benefited from feminist support both in Canada and abroad, eventually moving into collaborative research and writing with both students and colleagues. She was co-author of the first major textbook in the history of women in Canada. She collaborated in the founding of institutions and small groups devoted to women's history and women's studies along the way. Moving from an interest in the history of schooling to an interest in women's work in schools, and finally women's work in universities, brought her full circle to autobiographical work, including the present essay.
        « Winding Trails » sonde les processus par lesquels un mélange d’influences de jeunesse, expériences éducatives et de choix pragmatiques a suscité chez son auteure un intérêt pour l’histoire, puis l’enseignement, et la décision d’entreprendre un doctorat en histoire axé sur l’histoire de l’instruction publique en Ontario. Le féminisme s’est greffé au tout dans les années 1970. Approfondissant son intérêt croissant pour l’histoire des femmes et de l’éducation, Prentice a pu compter sur des appuis féministes au Canada et à l’étranger avant de finalement passer à la recherche et la rédaction en collaboration avec des étudiants et des collègues tout à la fois. Cosignataire du premier manuel d’importance en histoire des femmes au Canada, elle a également collaboré à la fondation d’institutions et de petits groupes dévoués à l’histoire des femmes et aux études féministes. L’évolution de ses intérêts, de l’histoire de l’instruction au travail des femmes dans les écoles puis au travail des femmes à l’Université, lui a permis de boucler la boucle au profit de l’œuvre autobiographique, dans laquelle s’inscrit ce texte-ci.
