Societal Changes in Canada: Late 1800s and Early 1900s

Abstract: A 5 page discussion of the societal changes which occurred in Canada in the late 1800s, early 1900s. Relies on two books: Paul Voisey's "Vulcan: The Makings of a Prairie Community" and Joy Parr's "The Gender of Breadwinners: Women, Men, and Change in Two Industrial Towns, 1880-1950". Emphasizes that the changes which were occurring are attributable to both men and women, both simultaneously and unpredictably by class as well as gender. Concludes that many of these changes are attributable to the change in lifestyles which were occurring with the transition from an agriculture based society to an industrial one. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
