Book SynopsisBy putting past and present scholarship into dialogue with each other, this book addresses accomplishments in Canadian women's and gender history, as well as ongoing silences and absences.
Trade Review"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." -- Rebecca Beausaert, University of Guelph *
