| Title |
Place and Politics of Virtue: Clerical Work, Corporate Anxiety, and Changing Meaning of Public Womanhood in Early Twentieth-Century Montreal
|
| Abstract |
Working in the financial district of downtown Montreal at the turn of the twentieth century, women in clerical professions challenged formulations of respectability in an era when public, urban space was viewed as threatening to female virtue. Drawing on the popular press and employee files from a selection of key corporations, the author examines how women’s presence in, and use of urban space was mediated through ideas about “respectability.”
