Women's College Hospital in downtown Toronto was founded in 1883 as the Women's Medical College, the first medical school in the city to admit women; it became a hospital where women could practice medicine in 1911. It's been located at its current location in the city since 1935, and was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1995. The hospital became a University of Toronto-affiliated teaching hospital in 1961, but in 2006 it again became an independent facility.

Want to see your body clearly? It might be a good idea to give the bathroom mirror a break because there’s a pile of research stretching back to the 1970s that suggests most women aren’t assessing their bodies accurately. One research study in the early 90s concluded that most women overestimate the size of their waists, hips, thighs and cheeks by about 25 per cent.

Ladies, don’t lose heart. You may not own your own home; you may not have any savings to speak of (does an overdraft count?), and occasionally, you may find yourself so flat broke by mid-month that you have to put that box of tampons on your Visa. But did you know that you’ve got something altogether more valuable than money, real estate, cash and your pride?
