Bonds of Friendship, Kinship, and Community: Gender, Homelessness, and Mutual Aid in Early-Nineteenth-Century Montreal
|
| Abstract |
A study of family and community among vagrant women arrested in Montreal between 1810 and 1842. At least 2,528 women were arrested for vagrancy in the city during this period. Of these, most involved single Irish women apprehended once or twice during this period. The author describes the brutal world in which these women lived, and the mutually dependent relationships they formed in order to search for shelter, food, comfort and protection.
