Carabines, poutchinettes co-eds ou freschettes sont-elles des étudiantes? : les filles à l’Université McGill et à l’Université de Montréal (1900-1960)

| Abstract |
Universities in Montreal remained preserves of men until 1884 when McGill admitted the first "Donaldas", and Laval University in Montreal opened a few doors to women in 1908. The author argues that at the level of integration and identity, this official admission was not enough to turn these women into students in their own right. Based on student newspapers and institutional archives, she examines the resistance but also the progress made in terms of the integration of female students in these two Montreal universities over a period of more than sixty years. Three specific aspects of the discourse of university authorities, male students, and the female students themselves, are examined in detail: being young, belonging to the institution, and belonging to the student community. What the author concludes is that between 1900 and 1960, whereas female students succeeded in carving out a place for themselves at university and in gaining the recognition of their male colleagues, not all resistance had yet been removed.
