The Gender of Breadwinners by Joy Parr

The Gender of Breadwinners by Joy Parr

Extending through seventy crucial years, these closely textured case studies challenge conventional views about the distinctiveness of gender and class roles.

'The most exhilarating, challenging book to appear in modern Canadian social history in many yearsPart women's history, part labour history, part technological history, part economic history, it integrates and surpasses these discrete subfields. Its theoretical underpinnings are particularly innovative.'

* Craig Heron, Canadian Historical Review *

'Well worth a careful reading for anyone interested in gender and work issues.'

-- Nancy E. Bertaux * Journal of Economic History *

'Clearly a benchmark in Canadian historical scholarship.'

-- Margaret Conrad * American Review of Canadian Studies *

'A work of truly remarkable sensitivity, depth and complexity.'

-- Deborah Gorham * Canadian Forum *

Joy Parr is Canada Research Chair in Technology, Environment and the Everyday, in the department of Geography at the University of Western Ontario..
