'Due Attention Has Been Paid to All Rules': Women, Tavern Licences, and Social Regulation in Montreal, 1840-1860
|
| Abstract |
Taverns and inns were centers of neighbourhood life, places for travellers seeking meals, drink, and accommodation, and commercial and domestic spaces where keepers and their families earned a living and called home. Women figured largely in public houses as patrons, servants, family members and publicans. The author focuses on ninety female publicans who held tavern licences in Montreal between 1840 and 1860, arguing that keeping these establishments afforded them distinct levels of economic independence and power. Two-thirds of these female licence holders had roots or were born in the United Kingdom or in Ireland.
