Historically, women have been underrepresented in hunting, and too often marginalized. But thanks to pioneers, like Gerry Bracewell, that is all changing. Since 1945, Gerry has carved the way for female involvement in hunting; providing inspiration and an example of female-empowerment in a field that is traditionally dominated by men. Through her contributions to the Cariboo-Chilcotin community, regional associations, conservation of the natural environment and mentoring female hunt guides, Gerry’s impact reaches far beyond her lifetime, leaving a living legacy that continues to grow. Gerry Bracewell’s books tell the story in more detail.
