- Description
- The years between 1870 and 1939 were a crucial period in the growth of industrial capitalism in Canada, as well as a time when many women joined the paid workforce. Yet despite the increase in employment, women faced a difficult struggle in gaining fair remuneration for their work and in gaining access to better jobs. Frager and Patrias analyse why women became confined to low-wage jobs, why their work was deemed less valuable than men’s work, why many women lacked training, job experience, and union membership, and under what circumstances women resisted their subordination. Distinctive earning discrepancies and employment patterns have always characterized women’s place in the workforce whether they have been in low-status, unskilled jobs, or in higher positions.

- Description
- In the 1960s Christian religious practice and identity declined rapidly and women's lives were transformed, spawning a demographic revolution in sex, family and work. The argument of this book is that the two were intimately connected, triggered by an historic confluence of factors. Canada, Ireland, UK and USA represent different stages of secularisation for the book's study. Using statistical evidence from government censuses, Brown demonstrates how secularisation was deeply linked to demographic change. Starting with the distinctive features of the 1960s, the book quantifies secularisation's scale, timing and character in each nation. Then, the intense links of women's sexual revolution to religious decline and their changing patterns of marriage, coupling and birthing are explored. Finally the secularising consequences of economic change, higher education and women's expanding work roles areexamined.
