A Brief History of Women in Quebec examines the historical experience of women of
different social classes and origins (geographic, ethnic, and racial) from the period
of contact between Europeans and Aboriginals to the twenty-first century to give a
nuanced and complex account of the main transformations in their lives. Themes explored
include demography, such as marriage, fecundity, and immigration; women's work outside
and inside the home, including motherhood; education, from elementary school to post-secondary
and access to the professions; the impact of religion and government policies; and
social and political activism, including feminism and struggles to attain equality
with men. Early chapters deal with New France and the first part of the nineteenth
century, and the remaining are devoted to the period since 1880, an era in which women's
lives changed rapidly and dramatically. The book concludes that transformation in
the means of production, women's social and political activism (including feminism),
and Quebec nationalism are three main keys to understanding the history of Quebec
women. Together, the three show that women's history, far from being an adjunct to
"general history," is essential to a full understanding of the past. Originally published
