Single Parenthood in the Past: Canadian Census Categories, 1891–1951, and the “Normal” Family

Bettina Bradbury

Anna Cottle was a 56-year-old widow living in St. John’s Ward, Toronto, in 1901. She and her two teenage daughters, Edith and Ellen, lived in the household of carpenter and widower William Wilkinson and his two sons. Anna was listed as a lodger, Edith and Ellen as her daughters. Another two families were also listed as lodgers and, like Anna, were given no separate family number in the manuscript census.’ Susan Mitchell (36) was listed as a lodger in the dwelling of a barber, Hugh Mitchell (43 , his wife, and their two children. Susan was inscribed as married, though her husband was not listed. Her 15-year-old son, Willie, lived with here2 Annie Tamousegusick, a 40-year-old Chippewan widow, lived in Nipissing County in the Nairn District when the enumerator visited her family in 1901.

Feminist Historians and Family History in Canada in the 1990s

Bettina Bradbury

This review article considers the contribution that monographs and collections of articles published by feminist scholars during the 1990s make to family history in Canada. Feminist historians have successfully exposed the workings of class, gender, and ethnicity in a range of Canadian towns and cities. They have begun to chart the relationships between families and other institutions—most notably religion, leisure, and the law. Recent works contribute to a much clearer understanding of the ways experts and the state have worked to shape families and especially motherhood in Canada and to the discursive role of the white wife and mother in the racial politics of the settlement of the West. And recent work has laid the groundwork for a better understanding of the regulatory discourses around gender, sexuality, and heterosexuality especially in Canada’s most studied province, Ontario.

The Shady Side of Fifty: Age and Old Age in Late Victorian Canada and the United States (review)

Bettina Bradbury

propose à l’historien, pour revêtir la toge de l’avocat et trouver au sujet de son enquête toutes les circonstances atténuantes. Certaines m’ont semblé spécieuses, particulièrement à propos de l’Institut canadien de Montréal, mais il apparaı̂t à l’auteur que la défense d’un peuple menacé dans sa survie en tant que groupe culturel original justifie certaines outrances qui, au total, anoblissent leur auteur. En rappelant sans cesse les défauts qui caractériseraient les travaux des chercheurs et chercheuses ayant avant lui étudié cette question, le texte adopte un ton polémique parfois dérangeant et quelque peu déphasé. Dérangeant parce que la critique omniprésente n’en reste pas moins superficielle, l’auteur s’étant interdit les développements historiographiques « pour ne pas alourdir le récit (p. 19). On regrette en particulier que le dialogue engagé avec la lecture du même problème par Yvan Lamonde demeure implicite. Déphasé parce que plusieurs des braises sur lesquelles souffle le texte me semblent presque éteintes. S’il fut un temps où, après de longues décennies d’histoire cléricale, les historiens laı̈cs éprouvèrent le besoin d’offrir une interprétation moins laudative du rôle de l’Église dans l’histoire du Québec, d’autres scénarios, inspirés notamment par les hypothèses de Roberto Perin, connues et assimilées par les spécialistes, sont depuis apparus, qui pointent vers la réhabilitation. Ils se révèlent aujourd’hui dominants. Pour finir, ce commentaire : au-delà de la perpétuation du groupe dans sa différence, reste à cerner quel type de société la conduite ecclésiastique organise « pour celles et ceux qui s’y trouvent plongés par le hasard de la naissance ». Or, la proposition de Roberto Perin consiste à dissocier l’ultramontanisme montréalais de l’antimodernisme développé par l’intransigeance européenne, dont il ne ferait qu’emprunter les oripeaux. Ce constat amène à penser les effets de la gouvernementalité en contexte libéral à l’intérieur même de la forme spécifique de catholicisme qui s’invente au Québec pendant l’épiscopat de Mgr Bourget. ollivier hubert Université de Montréal et Centre interuniversitaire d’études québécoises
