From: Through the Mill
$6.20
This chapter explores evolutions in the labour movement and the involvement and experiences of women in this movement throughout the 20th century. It looks at the experiences of working class and/or French Canadian women and their perceptions of/challenges to societal conceptions of femininity and tradition as well as the reality of family dynamics (for daughters, wives) and their evolutions. It also looks at the real lives of working women: their family lives and their recreation and leisure time. Finally, it looks at union formation, striking, the Catholic church’s influence on progress, and the labour movements’ evolution– and womens’ role in it– throughout the century.
