INSIDE THE TYEE

Driving, Ms. Dorothy

Tyee culture editor Dorothy Woodend has never pursued her driver’s licence — until now.

In this four-part series she relives the day that, as a teenager, her chance at becoming a driver veered off the road, and unfolds a crinkled map of relationships with her twin sister, mother and others.

Watercolour illustrations by Dorothy, too.
