There have been a number of dramatic adaptations of Lives of Girls and Women, or sections thereof, for radio and television. A disappointing and very loose two-hour adaptation of the book appeared on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) television network on February 11, 1996. More successful was a sixty-minute dramatization of the section "Baptizing," which appeared on the CBC television series "Performance" on January 19, 1975. In the same year, the book was adapted for a thirty-part radio series broadcast on CBC Radio, September 29November 25; the book was (re)adapted in 1981 for another CBC Radio Program, "Booktime," and was broadcast June 8-26.
