| Title |
Gender and Gentility on the Lower Canadian Frontier: Lucy Peel’s Journal, 1833-36
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the gender and class values reflected in the diary of a young British immigrant who lived with her husband near Sherbrooke in the 1830s. He points out that contrary to the claims of studies dealing with the British gentry in Upper Canada, the lives of the local elite described in Lucy Peel's journal do not conform to the rigid separation of a female private world and a male public one. The author argues that men took an active part in the domestic sphere, and women played a central role in maintaining social boundaries.
