Rona Maynard Let's Talk

Rona MaynardWelcome to my online community. Instead of wine or coffee, I’m serving stories—the kind women tell among friends.

They’re drawn from my life and other lives that have inspired me. I’m lucky enough to have spent my career exchanging stories with women. At Chatelaine, where I spent a decade as Editor, I shared my defining moments in a monthly column. Thousands of readers identified. They taught me how much we have in common—and how much we have to learn from one another.

The conversation continues right here. You'll learn about my new memoir, My Mother's Daughter, which Chatelaine readers encouraged me to write. You can read and comment on some of my most popular articles. You can post a story in honour of your own mother-or your daughter. And you can follow my blog, Letters from Rona. Now over to you.

Hi Rona. Couldn't help BUT notice your use of the term waitRESS. In a column of yours, dated Sept. 27 of last year, you headline your column, "Don't call me dear! along with all those other dated terms "lady", all the while telling your reader that you and your friends were "preparing our...
