| Title |
A Home Away From Home: Defining, Regulating and Challenging Femininity at the Julia Drummond Residence in Montreal, 1920-1971
|
| Abstract |
The author points out that, as newcomers to Montreal, young, single working women were often subject to low salaries, poor housing options, and unknown dangers – both real and imagined – of a big city. Many stayed in institutions such as the Julia Drummond Residence. The author considers the Julia Drummond Residence as a place of intersection of two groups of women: the middle-class volunteers who ran the residence while trying to shape the femininity and moral fibre of the residents; and the young, single working women who lived there, many of whom challenged the regulations imposed on them.
