Win one book prize, you're lucky. Win another, the world oughta take note. Rita Moir has won her second award for her memoir Buffalo Jump: A Woman's Travels (Coteau), taking home the $3,000 VanCity Women's Book Prize presented at the Word on the Street Festival. The provincial Ministry of Women's Equality also contributes $1,000 to the women's charity of the winner's choice. Moir acknowledged the role of her editor Bonnie Evans and thanked the judges-Reva Dexter, Mary Collins and Women In Print bookstore-for recognizing a non-urban book.
