Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this edited collection, Leslie Nichols weaves together the contributions of accomplished and diverse scholars to offer an expansive and critical analysis of women’s work in Canada. Students will use an intersectional approach to explore issues of gender, class, race, immigrant status, disability, sexual orientation, Indigeneity, age, and ethnicity in relation to employment. Drawing from case studies and extensive research, the text’s eighteen chapters consider Canadian industries across a broad spectrum, including political, academic, sport, sex trade, retail, and entrepreneurial work. Working Women in Canada is a relevant and in-depth look into the past, present, and future of women’s responsibilities and professions in Canada. Undergraduate and graduate students in gender studies, labour studies, and sociology courses will benefit from this thorough and intersectional approach to the study of women’s labour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspiring, compelling debut memoir chronicles the experiences of a female captain serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, and her journey to make space for herself in a traditionally masculine world. At eighteen years old, Kelly Thompson enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. Despite growing up in a military family -- she would, in fact, be a fourth-generation soldier -- she couldn't shake the feeling that she didn't belong. From the moment she arrives for basic training at a Quebec military base, a young woman more interested in writing than weaponry, she quickly realizes that her conception of what being a soldier means, forged from a desire to serve her country after the 9/11 attacks, isn't entirely accurate. A career as a female officer will involve navigating a masculinized culture and coming to grips with her burgeoning feminism. In this compulsively readable memoir, Thompson writes with wit and honesty about her own development as a woman and a soldier, unsparingly highlighting truths about her time in the military. In sharply crafted prose, she chronicles the frequent sexism and misogyny she encounters both in training and later in the workplace, and explores her own feelings of pride and loyalty to the Forces, and a family legacy of PTSD, all while searching for an artistic identity in a career that demands conformity. When she sustains a career-altering injury, Thompson fearlessly re-examines her identity as a soldier. Girls Need Not Apply is a refreshingly honest story of conviction, determination, and empowerment, and a bit of a love story, too.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Types of Canadian Women and of Women Who Are or Have Been Connected With Canada, Vol. 1 After four years of almost uninterrupted labour, mainly of research, I have the satisfaction of placing this first volume of the "Types of Canadian Women" before the public. My satisfaction is blended with sincere gratitude for the patriotic sympathy and generous help to which such measure of success as I have attained has been largely due. From the first announcement of my purpose, suggestions, reminders, references flowed in upon me from near and far. I was thus often brought within reach of information that would otherwise have remained hidden from me. I shall have an opportunity by and by of expressing my thanks more fully to the most cordial and effective of such coadjutors. Meanwhile, they cannot be better represented than by the names of Lord Strathcona, the Honourable Mr. Justice Baby, the Hon. Mr. Justice Girouard, Sir Sandford Fleming, the Hon. Senator Gowan, C.M.G., and Mr. John Reade, whose good-will, expressed in so many ways, I justly and gladly acknowledge. I am also thankful in another and larger sense. Arduous though the research (which involved the writing of thousands of letters) has necessarily been, I never for a moment had reason to rue my undertaking. If it sometimes caused weariness of the flesh, the languor was dispelled by refreshings of the patriotic heart as ever new surprises disclosed the wealth of the mine which it was my happy lot to have opened to the world. That this good fortune should have fallen to me was doubtless due to the fact that I had been so long engaged in biographic investigation. For almost half a century I had been eagerly watching the careers, at home and abroad, of the more distinguished of my fellow-countrymen. In such a pursuit I could not fail to be attracted to the rare deserts of many Canadian women. These have due places assigned to them in previous publications of mine.

Download or read book The Girl and the Game written by M. Ann Hall and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new edition of her groundbreaking social history The Girl and the Game (2002), M. Ann Hall updates her lively narrative of how women resisted masculine hegemony in Canadian sport and, in turn, how their efforts were opposed and sometimes supported by men. The second edition of The Girl and the Game begins with an important new chapter on aboriginal women and their interaction with early sport and ends with a new chapter on how trends and issues facing contemporary women in Canadian sport have their origins in the past. Other new sections focus on gender and the residential school system, the promotion of women's track and field, the 1928 summer Olympics and the Matchless Six, and aboriginal sportswomen. As in the first edition, Hall introduces her audience to more obscure Canadian female athletes rather than focusing her discussion on household names. The introduction to the new edition has been updated to reflect the content changes in the narrative. To increase appeal to the course market, chapter titles are more descriptive, the text has been revised to include more subsections, and the 52 black and white images are placed throughout the text.
