'''Dora Sanders Carney''' was a Canadian journalist who lived in occupied Shanghai during the onset of the Second World War.

== Early life ==
Dora May Sanders was born in [[Cape Town|Capetown, South Africa]], in 1903. She spent time growing up in Umpata territory South Africa, until her family moved back to Cape Town, then to England, and on to Canada. She married Jim Carney in 1934.<ref name=":2">{{Cite news |last=Bayley |first=Chuck |date=1982-06-15 |title=Dora's fascinating tale |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-vancouver-sun-doras-fascinating-tal/146509133/ |access-date=2024-05-03 |work=The Vancouver Sun |pages=34}}</ref>
Dora May Sanders was born in Claremont, Capetown, South Africa, on 12 September 1903, to Harry and Lucy. Harry Sanders (1872-1952) crippled by polio in his youth, had immigrated to South Africa as a tutor to his brother-in-law’s family. There, he met and married Lucy Emma May Bing (1875-1947), South-African born but Irish in ancestry, temperament, and musical ability, according to her older sister Byrne’s ''Reminiscences''.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Sanders |first=Byrne Hope |title=Reminiscences, Part 1 (pp. 1-9) |url=https://cwrc.ca/islandora/object/islandora:fe349103-76f5-45c9-b98b-6b5789146966 |access-date=2023-04-03 |website=cwrc.ca}}</ref> Harry followed his degree from [[University of Dublin|Dublin University]] with a law degree from Rhodes University,<ref name=":2">{{Cite news |date=7 February 1942 |title=Consumer Champion |pages=6 |work=National Post (Toronto)}}</ref> earned after the arrival of his four children: Minnie [[Byrne Hope Sanders]] (1902-1981), Dora, (1903-1986), John (1905 - after 1986), and Wilfrid (1907-1990).<ref name=":0" />


== Career ==
Dora spent her early years travelling throughout the southern African states, where her father worked as a lawyer in rural communities, moving between them in a "cape cart" pulled by oxen. As Dora’s sister Byrne commented: "for the most part we were isolated in black communities, for my father practiced law up in Rhodesia and the Transvaal. I can remember no white children, as there were no schools, and Mother taught us to read and write. We moved as a unit, learning friendship with each other, and becoming unusually self-contained as a family."<ref name=":1" /> Byrne notes, too, that although the family moved from South Africa when the children were still young, those years "were enough to make a life-long impact on us — in them we knew a magic and beauty, sadly lacking later on. They gave us a romantic background, and made us feel that we were something special, when we felt lonely, or faced unpopularity in Canada."<ref name=":1" /> When the Boer War and a tsetse fly plague<ref name=":2" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Carney |first=Pat |title=Trade Secrets: A Memoir |publisher=Key Porter |year=2000 |location=Toronto |pages=31}}</ref> created financial hardship that the family could not overcome, the family emigrated, moving first to England, where they stayed for a time with Charles Higham, the brother-in-law who had first employed Harry in South Africa.<ref name=":1" /> Finding no work in England, the family moved in 1912 to Canada.<ref name=":0" />

In 1961, Dora and Jim moved to Saturna Island. There, Dora wrote a column, "Gulf Islands Vignette," for the ''Victoria Times-Colonist'' newspaper.<ref>{{Cite news |date=23 September 1986 |title=Author Carney Dead at 83 |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-vancouver-sun-obituary-for-author-ca/146562718/ |work=Vancouver Sun |pages=5}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=24 Sep 1986 |title=Dora Carney, 83, was noted author |work=Toronto Star; Toronto, Ont. |pages=H14 |via=[[Proquest]]}}</ref>
== Early career ==
Dora's first publication was a poem, “Song of the Trees,” printed in the ''Toronto Globe'' in 1915, when she was 11. She published a number of poems in the “Playtime Prizes” column of the Circle of Young Canada page, winning best poem in April 1915 and January 1916.<ref name=":0" /> After high school, she majored in mathematics at Trinity College, although she did not take a degree. Needing funds to support her brother Wilfred’s education, she took a job alongside her sister Byrne Hope Sanders as "one of the first female advertising professionals, writing copy for T. Eaton department stores."<ref>{{Cite book |last=Carney |first=Pat |title=Trade Secrets: A Memoir |publisher=Key Porter |year=2000 |location=Toronto |pages=26}}</ref> Byrne Hope Sanders became the editor of ''Chatelaine'' magazine in 1929, and Dora moved to the advertising department of the upscale ''Mayfair'' magazine, both associate magazines of ''Maclean's''.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Carney |first=Pat |title=Trade Secrets: A Memoir |publisher=Key Porter |year=2000 |location=Toronto |pages=38-39}}</ref>
[[File:Dora and Jim Carney, 1934.jpg|thumb|Dora and Jim Carney in 1934]]
In autumn of 1933, Dora set sail for China to join her cousin Tony, whom she had agreed to marry, but: "the lure of travel was tantalizing and I was beginning to make some mark as a freelance writer — Surely a trip to China, even if it ended in a broken engagement, would provide material to bait the hooks that would catch the freelance cheques!"<ref>{{Cite book |last=Carney |first=Dora Sanders |title=Foreign Devils Had Light Eyes: A Memoir of Shanghai, 1933-1939 |publisher=Dorset |year=1980 |location=Toronto |pages=1}}</ref> Having met James ("Jim") Carney, a member of the Shanghai Municipal Council, on board the ship from Vancouver to Shanghai, Dora abandoned her Hong Kong plans and remained in Shanghai to find work as a journalist. It took number of weeks and great perseverance for Dora—a single European woman—to create a place for herself with a news agency, but she did, finally getting a job with Baker's news agency.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Carney |first=Dora Sanders |title=Foreign Devils Had Light Eyes: A Memoir of Shanghai, 1933-1939 |publisher=Dorset |year=1980 |location=Toronto |pages=49-50, 61-67}}</ref> In March 1934, she and Jim were married at the British Consulate in Shanghai and moved into Dora's small apartment with one servant, Amah, who became invaluable when twins Pat and Jim were born on 26 May 1935.<ref name=":0" /> A third child, named Norah after Dora's maternal grandmother, was born on 6 June 1937.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Carney |first=Dora Sanders |title=Foreign Devils Had Light Eyes: A Memoir of Shanghai, 1933-1939 |publisher=Dorset |year=1980 |location=Toronto |pages=183}}</ref><ref name=":0" />


In 1980 Sanders published a book about her experience in Shanghai, ''Foreign Devils Had Light Eyes''; she was 77 when her book was published.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Dufour |first=Pat |date=1980-10-12 |title=At 77, she's rookie author |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/times-colonist-at-77-shes-rookie-autho/146506927/ |access-date=2024-05-03 |work=Times Colonist |pages=16}}</ref> Her second book was to be titled ''Gotta, Gotta, Gotta''.<ref name=":2" />
In August 1937, when [[Battle of Shanghai|Japanese troops attacked Shanghai]], Dora was asked to provided a statement to a Toronto newspaper. Her message that described the horrors of the attack but reassured Canadians of the safety of the foreign community within the walled International Settlement was sent just before she received news of the first bombing of the Settlement.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Carney |first=Dora Sanders |title=Foreign Devils Had Light Eyes: A Memoir of Shanghai, 1933-1939 |publisher=Dorset |year=1980 |location=Toronto |pages=193-97}}</ref> A few short days later, Dora and the three children were on the P & O liner ''Rajputana'' headed for Hong Kong. Jim took leave and joined them, and the family travelled home to Canada.

The family settled briefly in Toronto. In March 1938, Jim's leave was up, and in September 1938, Dora and the children returned to Shanghai. In August 1939, difficulties with a fourth pregnancy meant that Dora and the children had to return to Canada before the birth; on the doctor's recommendation, Jim tendered his resignation to accompany them.
