Making a Middle Class: Student Life in English Canada during the Thirties - Axelrod, Paul

Clean, tight, unmarked; previous owner's name on ffep; very slight wear to dust jacket at spine; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Using a rich array of archival and quantitative sources, and oral testimony from former students across Canada, Axelrod explores the characteristics and significance of university life during a trying decade. Women faced discrimination inside and outside the classroom. How they coped with this, how they adapted their own expectations, and how they contributed to campus and community culture are extensively discussed. Through the prism of the student experience, this book furnishes fresh insights into the social history of higher education, the history of youth, the history of the middle class, and the history of the Depression.
