Faith, Family, Female Education and Friendship: Retelling Louise Amelia Monk’s Adolescence in Bourgeois Montreal, 1867-1871
|
| Abstract |
Louise Amelia Monk (1850-1874), the only daughter of six children born to Judge Samuel Cornwallis Monk and Caroline Debartzch, confided in diaries kept between 1867 and 1871 about her experiences coming of age in what the author describes as “bourgeois Montreal.” Monk’s writing shows a religious, Catholic, bilingual, Anglophone young woman growing up within a loving and intellectually stimulating family. She accepted her middle-class destiny (marriage and motherhood) with little ambivalence, but it never came to pass. She died at 23 years of age.
