History Of Women In Canada: The Work Immigrant Women Performed: Race, Class, Ethnicity.
This paper will examine the work which immigrant women performed, in Canada. It will be shown that this general group of women held jobs which were either rejected by the dominant class, or were at least, jobs which they preferred not to do. The time period for this analysis is partly from the middle of the nineteenth century to about 1920. In addition, it includes much more recent information and reports on immigrant women taking up paid positions that the dominant class Canadian woman generally rejects. 8 pgs. 13 f/c. 8b.
