Jewett faced many challenges in her life, as a woman, an academic, a nationalist, and a social reformer.

With tenacity and perseverance she overcame a number of social and gender barriers in place in Canada, becoming an important role model to a generation of younger women At the end of her life, she faced her greatest challenge - cancer - and fought this with her characteristic good humour, courage, and dignity.
