Women At Work , Ontario 1850-1930

By Janice Acton

Book Overview

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 factory through sweated labour. And yet, Florence Worthington, and thousands of women like her, have been ignored by history. Women at Work attempts to explore the realities 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.
