Women’s Work in Historical Context

  Write an essay of approximately 1500–2000 words that covers a topic of importance in the history of women’s work. For example, you may want to compare the work situations of different women, analyze how different women contributed to Canada’s settler colonial economy, learn more about the pay and working conditions of young women in early factories, or examine the attitudes and expectations relative to motherhood in early 20th-century Canada. Give some thought to your topic selection, and try to choose something that deeply interests you.
