Winding Trails
‘Winding Trails’ explores how childhood influences, educational experiences, and pragmatic choices led its author into an interest in History, then teaching, and finally a decision to pursue a doctorate in History, focusing on the history of public schooling in Ontario. The 1970s introduced feminism into the mix. Pursuing her growing interest in the history of women and education, the author benefited from feminist support both in Canada and abro…
A Blackboard in Her Kitchen
Despite a widespread belief that they were a tiny minority in twentieth-century physics, women have been far more present in the field than we imagine. In this essay I explore three periods in the history of the University of Toronto physics department between 1890 and 1990. In the first expansionist period (1890-1933) women were much in evidence, earning nearly 20 percent of the university's doctoral degrees in physics; during the middle years o…
The School Promoters
We tend to think of contemporary concern for reform in education as unprecedented in its intensity and scope. But as this book about mid-nineteenth century educational ideology shows, the urge to improve society through its schools has been with us a long time.

Women of the Commonwealth
These essays reflect the complexity and richness of current scholarship in women's history. Informed by a variety of source materials and methodologies, the ten chapters break down a generalized construct of womanhood to explore the dynamics between gender, race, ethnicity, and class. The first section of the book focuses on women's work, paid and unpaid, and the effects of class, ethnicity, and gender on the structure of the job market and on po…
Here Was Fellowship

Only in the women's colleges did women professors of all ranks considerably outnumber the men. Goodsell concluded, the realm of higher education this is their one happy hunting ground and they make good use of it.' One such golden arena was the academic community of Wellesley College 1895-1920. Wellesley was the only women's college whic…
Women Who Taught

Schooling and Scholars in Nineteenth-Century Ontario
Nineteenth-century educational reformers were fond of an agricultural metaphor when it came to the provision of more and better schooling: even good land, they argued, had to be cultiated; othersie noxious weeds sprang up. In this study of education in Ontario from the establishment of Upper Canada to the end of Egerton Ryerson's career as chief superintendent of schools in 1876, Susan Houston and Alison Prentice explore the roots of the provinci…
