Title
Women at Work: Ontario, 1850-1930
Abstract
Women's work has been fundamental to Canada's development - whether that work has involved serving the wealthy, struggling to maintain her own family, tending the ill, teaching, or producing profits for the owner of a garment factor through sweated labour. ...Women at Work attempts to explore the reality of Canadian women's experiences, and proposes the framework which begins to answer why the double exploitation of women as mothers and workers has persisted to the present day. --Publisher's description
