This book was released on 1903 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents a collection of more than 350 biographical sketches of Canadian women, spanning three centuries. Each entry is contained on a single page, and presents a portrait of the woman. Many entries show a reproduction of the woman's handwritten signature. Woman are presented alphabetically by their married name, often including the woman's date of birth and marriage, as well as a description of her husband and his accomplishments, their children, and her membership in societies and organizations. Overall, the sketches celebrate women's primary roles as dutiful wife and mother and active community member. The majority of women Morgan features are white, upper-middle class, and married, those who prioritized traditional (i.e., heteronormative) family life. He also writes warmly, however, of women who were unmarried and forged successful careers in the arts - a fairly forward-thinking approach for the time. There is no question that Types of Canadian Women is a product of its time. Nonetheless, it provides a rare glimpse into the lives of women in Canada, recording many important milestones and achievements that otherwise may have been lost. For contemporary readers, the publication is exciting to peruse for its many familiar names: philanthropists Lillian Massey, of the Massey manufacturers of agricultural equipment, and Grace Redpath, of Redpath Sugar fame; war heroine Laura Secord; and author Catharine Parr Traill.18 True, Morgan draws attention to the men in women's lives. At the same time, however, he conveys respect for married women's contributions to family life and single women's career achievements alike, suggesting that value can be found in either path. His attitude was a progressive one for anyone - male or female - writing at the turn of the twentieth century.Book was published as the first of two volumes, but a second volume was never issued.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I've worked on and off as a picture researcher for non-fiction books,†says K.I. Press, “during which time I looked at an awful lot of archival photographs. A few years ago I came across a book called Types of Canadian Women, Volume I, a 1903 illustrated biographical dictionary of society women – artists, nurses, missionaries, activists and philanthropists, as well as plenty of women whose claim to fame was being rich or titled – who were more or less Canadian. The pictures grabbed me first, but the biographies drew me in. They were so boring, yet there were phrases that suggested what wasn't being told. Some of these women had been to war zones or lived through rebellions or performed heroic feats that were alluded to in a single phrase. What if, I thought, their biographies told just the good parts? I looked for the book's promised Volume II to no avail, instead finding a librarian's note in the catalogue: †̃Volume II never published?' I knew I had to write it.†Written as a fantasia of archetypes, Press's collection takes a jab at the notions of archetypes and gendered behaviour, and at the patronizing undertones that coloured the original. Illustrated with archival photos, this collection of prose and poetry is an album devoted to a more ambiguously female experience of Canada, stretched across several lives, the poet's eye opening in a different life and the same life with each turn of the page. With subtle misunderstandings, quiet subversions and all-out rebellions, Types of Canadian Women, Volume II uncovers the psychological knots that once and still snag female ambition and relationships. Using the turn-of-the-century occupations and preoccupations that shaped the original collection, Press illuminates her portraits of farming, pioneering, politics, writing, painting, acting, athletics, childbirth, homemaking, religion, education, romance and psychosis with fantastical and symbolic elements to create a series of narratives that slip almost imperceptibly from reality into imagination and back again. Press's women share an inventive interaction with the Canadian landscape and its emblems, as well as with some of the landmark events in colonial and Confederation history. Weaving practicality and plain-spoken accounts together with dreamlike delusions and escapist leaps, the Canadian women in this volume sidestep more linear versions of events. Ultimately, it is with reverent appreciation and irreverent mischievousness that Press upends the project of naming and definition, and in the process locates many more authentic sources of connection.

Download or read book Along a River written by Jan Noel and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2013-08-30 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French-Canadian explorers, traders, and soldiers feature prominently in this country's storytelling, but little has been written about their female counterparts. In Along a River, award-winning historian Jan Noel shines a light on the lives of remarkable French-Canadian women — immigrant brides, nuns, tradeswomen, farmers, governors' wives, and even smugglers — during the period between the settlement of the St. Lawrence Lowlands and the Victorian era. Along a River builds the case that inside the cabins that stretched for miles along the shoreline, most early French-Canadian women retained old fashioned forms of economic production and customary rights over land ownership. Noel demonstrates how this continued even as the world changed around them by comparing their lives to those of their contemporaries in France, England, and New England.Exploring how the daughters and granddaughters of the filles du roi adapted to their terrain, turned their hands to trade, and even acquired surprising influence at the French court, Along a River is an innovative and engagingly written history.
