Description
This collection of articles and extracts from books and periodicals describes in detail the opportunities in Western Canada for British women emigrants. By 1900 there was a great demand both for wives and for workers in a variety of occupations. 'Women Wanted' was the message conveyed by Canadian officials, journalists, and public-spirited women who travelled across Canada and reported on their findings.
