Amazon.com description: Product Description: With introductory essays written by historians, "Framing Our Past" emphasizes the lived experiences of women: their participation in many areas; social rituals with other women; organized sporting clubs; philanthropic, spiritual and aesthetic activities; study and reading groups. The authors then focus on women's roles as nurturers and keepers of the hearth - their experiences with family management, child care, and health concerns. They consider women's varied contributions within the formal and informal educational systems as well as their instrumental political role in consumer activism, social work, peace movements, and royal commissions. Canadian women's shaping of health care and science through nursing, physiotherapy and research are discussed, as is women's work, from domestic labour to dressmaking to broadcasting to banking. Using diary accounts, oral history, letters, organizational records, paintings, quilts, dressmaking patterns, milliners' records, posters, "Framing our Past" offers a unique opportunity to share what is rarely if ever seen, offering insights into the preservation and interpretation of historical sources.
