A not unreasonable claim : women and reform in Canada, 1880s-1920s / edited by Linda Kealey.
Ten years ago, a collection such as this could not have appeared because research interest in the history of women in Canada was very small. Since then, new initiatives in social history and a resurgence of the feminist movement have encouraged work in these areas... This book is the product of academic historians, employed for the most part at Canadian colleges and universities. It also reflects the growth and vibrancy of current historical scholarship on women. -- from Preface
