This article uses concepts coming from studies of the feminization of different occupations to investigate how the occupation of telephone operator came to be a female job ghetto. Its main theme is that the feminization of operating was central to the rapid growth of the telephone industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Contrary to general findings in the literature on feminization, the study suggests that labeling the operator's occupation as a female job increased, rather than reduced, its social status, although it did not improve its wages. It also indicates that whereas the job definition changed to suit female characteristics, its actual performance continued to involve commonly recognized male features to which the female operators had to adapt.

Postwar industrial action in Halifax culminated in the strike of the Marine Trades and Labor Federation against the Halifax Shipyards Limited. Increased strike activity was accompanied by and enhanced labor's formal political aspirations as expressed in the rejuvenation of the Halifax Labor Party. This article explores the economic and political events leading up to the summer of 1920, when the Halifax Shipyard Strike and a Nova Scotia provincial election brought local events to a climax. Laborism, the broad political philosophy uniting labor activists in postwar Halifax, initially appeared to offer the ideal medium through which political and economic questions could be filtered and processed. But as laborites attempted to apply their philosophy to concrete situations, they exposed its inherent contradictions. The strike clarified their ideas while it revealed their weakness, and promoted the eventual fragmentation of the Halifax labor movement.
