History

Brenda J. Pauls (Nee Sinclair) received her Masters Degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Manitoba in 1985. Her studies focused on counselling and adult education. She has had a lifelong interest in supporting women's learning, awareness and growth. She took two courses offered by Joan Turner, who was an instructor at the School of Social Work at the time. Later, Joan hired her as a teaching assistant for the Interpersonal Communication Skills course. They became friends and discussed their dream of creating a women's resource center in Winnipeg. They decided to start a women's bookstore in a rented commercial space in the Osborne Village area of Winnipeg. Brenda became a founding partner of Bold Print, a women's bookstore that operated in Winnipeg from 1986 to 1994. Brenda brought in Noreen Stevens, an interior designer and graphic artist, Nancy Reinholdt, a social worker, and John Stockwell, a carpenter, to collaborate on the project. She volunteered her time to set up the bookstore and took on a paid management role for a year and a half after the bookstore opened on August 7, 1986.

Brenda J. Pauls (Nee Sinclair) a obtenu une maîtrise en psychologie de l'éducation à l'université du Manitoba en 1985. Ses études étaient axées sur le conseil et l'éducation des adultes. Elle s'est ainsi intéressée tout au long de sa vie au soutien pouvant être apporté aux femmes en matière d’apprentissage, de conscience et de croissance personnelles. Elle a suivi deux cours proposés par Joan Turner, qui était à l'époque instructrice à l'École de travail social. Plus tard, Joan l'a engagée en tant qu'assistante pédagogique pour le cours sur les compétences en communication interpersonnelle. Elles sont ensuite devenues amies et ont discuté de leur rêve de créer un centre de ressources pour les femmes à Winnipeg. Elles ont décidé de créer d'abord une librairie pour femmes dans un local commercial loué dans le quartier d'Osborne Village à Winnipeg. Brenda est devenue une partenaire fondatrice de Bold Print, une librairie pour femmes active à Winnipeg de 1986 à 1994. Brenda a fait appel à Noreen Stevens, architecte d'intérieur et graphiste, à Nancy Reinholdt, assistante sociale, et à John Stockwell, menuisier pour collaborer sur le projet. Elle a donné de son temps pour mettre en place la librairie et a assumé un rôle rémunéré de gérante pendant un an et demi après l'ouverture de la librairie, le 7 août 1986.
