She has since become a naturalized Canadian citizen. She holds a BA in English from the University of Michigan and an MA in English from the University of Toronto.〔 In 2004 Margaret Wente published ''Accidental Canadian'', her autobiographical account of becoming a columnist at The Globe & Mail. Though Wente did her undergraduate college studies in Ann Arbor, Michigan, every year from May through August she returned to Toronto to serve tables at The Coffee Mill, a Hungarian restaurant: :I schlepped espressos and salami sandwiches, oceans of goulash and mountains of pastries and gallons of orange frappes. (Coffee Mill ) offered a hint of continental sophistication in a city that was still hopelessly parochial….Some of the customers were genuine writers…In nice weather they could sit outdoors on a terrace…I was serving the intelligencia…I wore a white polyester apron with a miniskirt and high-heeled sandals. (p 41) After graduating from University of Michigan, noticing that the USA was in a "dark phase, torn apart by the politics of Vietnam" (p 7), she chose to live and work in Canada. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Margaret Wente」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
