Reading Canadian Women's and Gender History
Checking Availibility...Description
Inspired by the question of "what's next?" in the field of Canadian women's and gender history, this broadly historiographical volume represents a conversation among established and emerging scholars who share a commitment to understanding the past from intersectional feminist perspectives. It includes original essays on Quebecois, Indigenous, Black, and immigrant women's histories and tackles such diverse topics as colonialism, religion, labour, warfare, sexuality, and reproductive labour and justice. Intended as a regenerative retrospective of a critically important field, this collection both engages analytically with the current state of women's and gender historiography in Canada and draws on its rich past to generate new knowledge and areas for inquiry.
About this Author
Reviews
"Anyone engaging in women's, gender, or feminist history in Canada today will benefit from the book's thorough consideration of how the field of women's history, understood broadly, was built, its historiographical trends, and the collaborative effort of historians to de-marginalize women and bring their experiences to the forefront of historical study. The excellent contributions in this book remind us yet again that though the field is rich and deep, much work remains to be done."
