Women and Social Welfare in the Montreal Region, 1800-1833: Preliminary Findings
|
| Abstract |
Women provided most of the organized social welfare in Montreal and its environs in the first decades of the nineteenth century. According to the author, after the early 1830s, social welfare and social service projects were increasingly initiated by male clergy, laymen or government officials. The author points out that women continued to supply much of the labour after 1832 but were less apt to supply direction. The first permanent English-language voluntary relief association in Montreal was the Female Benevolent Society, founded in 1815. Prior to that period, most of the relief work for both Anglophones and Francophones in Montreal was carried out by Catholic nuns.
