Title |
Migrants in Montreal: Managing British Female Immigrants at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
|
Abstract |
An examination of the work of various British Protestant organizations, such as the Women’s Protective Immigration Society and the British Women’s Emigration Association, headed by middle- and upper-class women, who assisted working-class female immigrants to Canada at the turn of the twentieth century. However, these organizations ran afoul of Anglican men from the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge who wanted the church to be the main organ of settlement for female immigrants arriving in Montreal, thus shielding English women from the influence of Catholicism.
