Until she retired to Victoria, British Columbia, B. Anne Wood taught at the faculty of Education at Dalhousie University in Halifax. Her book Idealism Transformed: The Making of a Progressive Educator received the Founders' Prize from the Canadian History of Education Association. Using the journals of W. Norman Rudolf (1835-1886), a Victorian era merchant, Wood later published Evangelical Balance Sheet: Character, Family, and Business in Mid-Victorian Nova Scotia (Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2006).
