"Although Canadian womens history is now nearly forty years old, no volume exists
that reflects explicitly upon the fields evolution and assesses its historiographical
context. This retrospective is not merely summative; the essays in this collection
are analytical engagements with the current state of the field, which draw on its
rich past to generate new knowledge and propose innovative avenues for inquiry. The
dual purposes of this collection are to contemplate the fields past and to contribute
productively to its future. These thirteen original essays are written by scholars
at all career stages. The diversity of these authors perspectives illustrates the
contributions that Canadian scholarship has had in international dialogues about womens
and gender history and that it continues to be a vibrant area of research. The collection
includes chapters about the principal sub-fields in Canadian womens and gender history,
including specialized chapters on Québecois, Indigenous, Black, and immigrant womens
histories, religious history, labour history, war and society, history of sexuality,
the history of reproductive labour and reproductive justice, two essays on the history
of feminism that, taken together, cover the period from 1850 to the present, and a
thematic essay on the colonial period."
