Sheila Norgate is a Gabriolan artist and author whose story "My Mother Does Not Appear" has been published in a collection of stories titled "Untying the Apron: Daughters Remember Mothers of the 1950s".

From Untying the Apron:

"Mothers of the 1950s were wasp-waisted, dutiful, serene, and tied to the kitchen with apron strings. Or so we thought. This collection of searing and startling poetry and prose unties the stereotype and reveals women who were strong, wild, talented, wise, mad, creative, desperate, angry, courageous, bitter, tenacious, reckless and beautiful, sometimes all at once. The contributors include multi award-winning poets, novelists, and essayists, as well as compelling new literary voices.:
