Distinctions of gender and age were reinforced in the period of early industrial capitalism in Montreal as more and more children were drawn into wage labour. Working-class males sought work for wages for most of their lives. For women such work was transitory, undertaken as girls, seldom as wives, but required if their husband died or deserted them. Domestic labour was the usual task of both girls and women within the family economy. Gender-based wage differentials made it practical for families to send sons rather than daughters into the workforce, hardening the identification of the home as women's place. The female's economic dependence on a male and his wages was highlighted in the plight of the widow.

Cette décision pose le problème de la pertinence d'une intervention législative à ce niveau.

This collection of documents gives a picture of the life of the workingman in the nineteenth century - his conditions of work, his housing, diet, health, and recreations, the way he viewed his problems, and was viewed as a problem by the upper classes, and his gradually developing an interest in unionism. The sources are mostly contemporary accounts, drawn from books, newspapers, and evidence supplied to the Royal Commission on the Relations of Labour and Capital. The documents are livelly, often amusing, always very revealing of the life of the ordinary people. -- Publisher's description
