She Won the Vote for Women: The Life and Times of Lillian Beynon Thomas. Robert E. Hawkins
Remembering Natalie Zemon Davis
From There to Here: The Making of a Feminist Historian
“From There to Here” traces a life in which family, politics, and the disciplines of history and women's studies created a feminist scholar. Gender, class, and race, with all their privileges and disabilities, always left their mark. Inspiration came with shared communities and hopes for a better world
Experts on Our Own Lives: Commemorating Canada at the Beginning of the 21st Century
This article highlights the contested nature of public commemoration in Canada. Vigorous grassroots enthusiasm for commemoration is compared with the evolving commitment of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board, one of Canada's senior players in national commemoration. The article begins by pointing to the ongoing attention to history that pervades contemporary movement politics among the First Nations, ethno-cultural groups, women, and workers.…

Sisters Doing for Themselves, or Not: Aunts and Caregiving in Canada
Childcare arrangements of many wage-earning parents depend on sisters or sisters-in-law. Yet, for all their significance, aunts have been largely invisible in discussions of child welfare. "Sisters Are Doing for Themselves, Or Not" invokes the iconic Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin to remind us that the very vocabulary of feminist solidarity celebrates an idealized kin relationship. The very popularity of notions of sisterhood contributes to the…
Children of Adversity: Disabilities and Child Welfare in Canada from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-First Century
The needs of particularly vulnerable children and youth have long tested Canadian parents and communities. Youngsters with mental and physical impairments have historically experienced a wide range of conditions that are always negotiated in the context of cultural assumptions, existing social supports and barriers, and available technologies. Both institutionalization and inadequate domestic substitutes have a long history, like birth families e…

A Woman with a Purpose: The Diaries of Elizabeth Smith, 1872–1884
Elizabeth Smith was a determined and ambitious young woman in Victorian Ontario, who set out to get a medical education against considerable opposition, and succeeded. The diaries begin when she was thirteen years old, in Winona, Ontario, and take her through the loneliness and dissatisfaction of life as a young teacher. They chronicle her battle for admission to the all-male medical school at Queen's University, and the discrimination she met th…
The Girl of the New Day: Canadian Working Women in the 1920s
In the 1920s many liberal Canadians hoped that a modernized capitalism with new technologies and new methods of bureaucratic organization would benefit women by employment and promotion practices based on merit rather than tradition. Inequality in the workplace however, did not disappear. The failure to make great gains has sometimes been obscured by fascination with female professionals. Yet such individuals constituted a small, atypical minorit…
