When she joined the senior women’s hockey team, the Fleurs de Lis, Madame Louise found a perfect outlet for her post-menopausal zest and an ideal use for her obsolete inventory of serviettes hygiéniques. Louise is on display from February 2000 – March 2003 at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec. The show is called Timeless Treasures: The History of the Doll in Canada. Louise appears on loan from the collection of, Wisconsin’s Mary Rogers Gillespie. Thanks, Mary!
