Through Feminist Eyes - Essays on Canadian Women's History (Paperback, New)

In "Through Feminist Eyes," historian Joan Sangster uses a selection of her writings, published over a period of three decades, as a gateway into reflections on the themes and theoretical concerns that have shaped both the writing of women's history in Canada and her own evolution as a feminist historian. As in the original essays themselves, she brings to these reflections her distinctive combination of insight, honesty, and impeccable scholarship.

Joan Sangster is professor of women's studies and history at Trent University, where she also teaches at the Frost Centre for Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies. Her many publications include "Transforming Labour: Women and Work in Postwar Canada" and "Girl Trouble: Female Delinquency in English Canada. "

"Joan Sangster's work has always been ground-breaking, continually providing new perspectives on issues of women, gender, class, and race in diverse settings.... "Through Feminist Eyes" makes an important theoretical contribution to the field by gathering together some of Sangster's key essays for the first time and offering her thoughtful commentary on her own intellectual trajectory."--Sarah Carter, University of Alberta

"Sangster raises questions about assumptions and norms that have shaped feminist historiography, making this a provocative and eloquent testimony about the importance of scrutinizing evidence and perspectives."--Laurie Mercier, Washington State University
