Femmes philanthropes : catholiques, protestantes et juives dans les organisations caritatives au Québec, 1880-1945
Abstract
The author notes that in the first half of the twentieth century, organised philanthropy was an essential driving force behind women's accession to full political rights. Her book looks at the history of three major women’s associations in Quebec: Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA), established in 1875; the National Council of Jewish Women, established in 1897; and La Fédération nationale Saint-Jean Baptiste, founded in 1907. The author shows that the women involved made a major and still largely ignored contribution to the to the development of social policies in Canada and Quebec.
