Title
Civic Identities in Conflict: Montreal's Anglophone and Francophone Private School Girls
Abstract
The author examines the wartime experiences of Anglophone and Francophone girls attending private schools in Montreal between 1939 and 1945, illustrating how their different reactions to the Second World War reflected the broader social and political climate within Quebec society. The author argues that the ideological disagreement between Quebec English speakers and French speakers over Canada's participation in the war was transmitted by parents, teachers, school administrators, community leaders, and religious authorities to Quebec's female youth, playing a major role in shaping their daily lives during and towards the war.
