| Title |
‘Pour se créer un avenir’ : stratégies de couples montréalais au XIXe siècle
|
| Abstract |
The author argues that married couples were important entrepreneurial agents of economic expansion in Montreal in the second half of the nineteenth century. Her argument is based on observations from a sample of 1,000 couples – French Canadian Catholic, Irish Catholic and Anglo-Protestant – traced in parish registers and notarial archives. She found that women during this era, despite legal handicaps, played a dynamic role in the operation of kinship networks fundamental to the process of urbanization, to residential moves within the city and to social ambitions.
