Women's History: History of the Prairie West Series, Vol. 5 - Kubik, Wendee; Marchildon, Gregory P.

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to inside corners; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This fifth volume of the History of the Prairie West Series contains a broad range of articles spanning the 1870s to the present and examines the mostly unexplored place of women in the history of Canada's Prairie Provinces. From "Spinsters Need Not Apply" to "Negotiating Sex and Gender in the Ukrainian Bloc Settlement" to "Female Vagrancy and Social Respectability in Alberta," women's roles in politics, law, agriculture, labour, and journalism are explored to reveal a complex portrait of women struggling to raise children, have careers, find safety, and be themselves in an often harsh environment.
