Undergraduate and graduate students in gender studies, labour studies, and sociology courses will benefit from this thorough and intersectional approach to the study of women’s labour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many women who lived through the Second World War believed it heralded new status and opportunities. But did it? Making the Best of It examines how gender and other identities intersected to shape the experiences of female Canadians and Newfoundlanders during the war. The contributors to this thoughtful collection consider mainstream and minority populations, girls and women, and different parts of Canada and Newfoundland in their essays. Ultimately, they lay a foundation for a better understanding of the ways in which the lives of Canadian women and girls were altered during and after the 1940s.

Download or read book Types of Canadian Women and of Women who are Or Have Been Connected with Canada written by Henry James Morgan and published by . This book was released on 1903 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents a collection of more than 350 biographical sketches of Canadian women, spanning three centuries. Each entry is contained on a single page, and presents a portrait of the woman. Many entries show a reproduction of the woman's handwritten signature. Woman are presented alphabetically by their married name, often including the woman’s date of birth and marriage, as well as a description of her husband and his accomplishments, their children, and her membership in societies and organizations. Overall, the sketches celebrate women’s primary roles as dutiful wife and mother and active community member. The majority of women Morgan features are white, upper-middle class, and married, those who prioritized traditional (i.e., heteronormative) family life. He also writes warmly, however, of women who were unmarried and forged successful careers in the arts – a fairly forward-thinking approach for the time. There is no question that Types of Canadian Women is a product of its time. Nonetheless, it provides a rare glimpse into the lives of women in Canada, recording many important milestones and achievements that otherwise may have been lost. For contemporary readers, the publication is exciting to peruse for its many familiar names: philanthropists Lillian Massey, of the Massey manufacturers of agricultural equipment, and Grace Redpath, of Redpath Sugar fame; war heroine Laura Secord; and author Catharine Parr Traill.18 True, Morgan draws attention to the men in women’s lives. At the same time, however, he conveys respect for married women’s contributions to family life and single women’s career achievements alike, suggesting that value can be found in either path. His attitude was a progressive one for anyone – male or female – writing at the turn of the twentieth century.Book was published as the first of two volumes, but a second volume was never issued.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a recent increase in the productivity and popularity of Indigenous playwrights in Canada, most critical and academic attention has been devoted to the work of male dramatists, leaving female writers on the margins. In Indigenous Women’s Theatre in Canada, Sarah MacKenzie addresses this critical gap by focusing on plays by Indigenous women written and produced in the socio-cultural milieux of twentieth and twenty-first century Canada. Closely analyzing dramatic texts by Monique Mojica, Marie Clements, and Yvette Nolan, MacKenzie explores representations of gendered colonialist violence in order to determine the varying ways in which these representations are employed subversively and informatively by Indigenous women. These plays provide an avenue for individual and potential cultural healing by deconstructing some of the harmful ideological work performed by colonial misrepresentations of Indigeneity and demonstrate the strength and persistence of Indigenous women, offering a space in which decolonial futurisms can be envisioned. In this unique work, MacKenzie suggests that colonialist misrepresentations of Indigenous women have served to perpetuate demeaning stereotypes, justifying devaluation of and violence against Indigenous women. Most significantly, however, she argues that resistant representations in Indigenous women’s dramatic writing and production work in direct opposition to such representational and manifest violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What range of possibilities might appear on the horizon to a young woman today as she contemplates her future compared to those envisioned by a young woman 150 years ago? And how would her daily life be different? The degree of change in women's lives in Canada over the last 150 years is staggering, and much is the result of the fight for greater equality. How did this change take place? Establishing equality as a fact of daily life has been a protracted struggle, and one that remains far from finished. Over the last century and a half since Confederation, this struggle has taken on a unique character in Canada, given our country's peculiar circumstances. Lorna R. Marsden, sociologist and activist-who has herself been involved in the action-chronicles the circumstances, the people, and the social changes that have characterized women's journey down the long road toward equality. Her account considers changes brought about by such forces as war, immigration, and public health, as well as other complex historical changes, such as legal evolution and employment opportunities. This fascinating book is full of insight, little known facts (for example, many women could vote as early as 1791 in some parts of Canada), and an understanding of the complex ways that a society like Canada can and does change. It also reminds us that there is still a distance to go in the journey toward equality.

Book excerpt: The First World War demanded sacrifice from all levels of society,and the degree to which citizens at home were expected to "dotheir bit" was made explicit in national propaganda. Women andgirls in Canada and Newfoundland were indelibly affected by, and wereintegral parts of, their countries' war efforts. Yet their variedresponses and myriad activities are not recognized in our memory of thewar. A Sisterhood of Suffering and Service actively engages inredressing that absence and in exploring why the retelling ofwomen's stories meets such resistance. Drawing upon amultidisciplinary spectrum of recent work - studies on mobilizingwomen, paid and volunteer employment at home and overseas, grief,childhood, family life, and literary representations - thiscollection brings Canadian and Newfoundland women and girls into thehistory of the First World War and marks their place in the narrativeof national transformation. Recognizing women's active and emotional responses to theFirst World War is a crucial step towards understanding how that warshaped Newfoundland and Canada both during and after the conflict. Thisvolume is therefore essential reading for anyone interested in thehistory of women, the First World War, Newfoundland, or Canada. Sarah Glassford teaches history at the Universityof Ottawa and Carleton University. Amy Shaw is anassociate professor of history at the University of Lethbridge andauthor of Crisis of Conscience: Conscientious Objection in Canadaduring the First World War.
