Title
Emigrators, Emigrants and Empire: Women and British Migration to Canada and Australia in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
Abstract
The author argues that middle- and upper-class women in Britain, Canada and Australia saw the management of working-class, unmarried female migration as a sphere of work that ought to be managed by themselves rather than by male state officials. They bonded together into international networks of imperially minded women that were designed to their own managerial interests and reform agendas. Includes information on Montreal-area women who were involved in this immigration effort.
