When Grace Annie Lockhart graduated Mount Allison University, she wasn't allowed a cap and gown. Why? Well, she was the first woman to ever graduate university in the British commonwealth, and "I suspect that they just did not know what to do," says archivist David Mawhinney. 150 years later, Grace isn't well known, and David and others hope to change that. A documentary from the CBC's Mariam Mesbah, that first aired on Atlantic Voice in June. (If you want to see Grace's grad pic, google her + CBC and it'll come up.)
