Description

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 the Canada's Prairie Provinces. From "Spinsters Need Not Apply" to "Negotiating Sex: Gender in the Ukrainian Bloc Settlement," women’s roles in politics, law, agriculture, labour, and journalism are explored to reveal a complex portrait of women struggling to find safety, have careers, raise children, and be themselves in an often harsh environment.

Launched in 2008, the History of the Prairie West Series is comprised of the very best historical articles previously published in the scholarly journal Prairie Forum.

About the authors

 

Wendee Kubik is involved in researching gender issues and the changing roles of farm women in Saskatchewan. Her dissertation, a quantitative and qualitative study, looked at the consequences for farm women’s health, well-being and quality of life in Saskatchewan, a follow-up to her M.A. thesis on farm stress in Saskatchewan. She is currently interested in issues relating to feminism in rural areas, changing gender roles, women and work, women’s health in Saskatchewan, nationally, and globally, qualitative and feminist methods, and prairie women. She is currently teaching Introduction to Women’s Studies, Women and Health, and Women’s Health in the Global economy.
