The business of Women<br />
marriage, Family, and entrepreneurship in British Columbia, 1901–51<br />
Melanie Buddle<br />
Throughout history, Western women have<br />
inhabited a conceptual space divorced from<br />
the world of business. But women have always<br />
engaged in business. The Business of Women<br />
explores the world of those women who embraced<br />
British Columbia’s frontier ethos in the early<br />
twentieth-century. In this detailed examination<br />
of case studies and quantitative sources, Buddle<br />
reveals that, contrary to expectation, the<br />
typical businesswoman was not unmarried or<br />
particularly rebellious, but a woman reconciling<br />
her entrepreneurship with her identity as a wife,<br />
mother, or widow. This groundbreaking study<br />
not only incorporates women into the history<br />
of business, it challenges commonly held beliefs<br />
about women, business, and the marriage<br />
between the two.<br />

New possibilities for the past<br />
Shaping History education in Canada<br />
Penney Clark<br />
The place of history education in schools has<br />
sparked heated debate in Canada. Is history dead?<br />
Who killed it? Should history be put in the service<br />
of nation? Can any history be truly inclusive?<br />
This volume advances the debate by shifting the<br />
focus from what should be included in history<br />
education to how we should think about and teach<br />
the past. In this book, historians and educators<br />
discuss the state of history education research and<br />
its implications for classrooms, museums, virtual<br />
environments, and public institutional settings.<br />
They develop a comprehensive research agenda<br />
both to help students learn about the past and to<br />
understand how we construct history from its<br />
infinite possibilities.<br />

inuit Education and schools in the Eastern Arctic<br />
Heather E. McGregor<br />
Since the mid-twentieth century, sustained<br />
contact between Inuit and newcomers has led to<br />
profound changes in education in the Eastern<br />
Arctic, including the experience of colonization<br />
and progress toward the re-establishment<br />
of traditional education in schools. Heather<br />
McGregor assesses developments in the history<br />
of education in four periods – the traditional, the<br />
colonial (1945-70), the territorial (1971-81), and the<br />
local (1982-99). She concludes that education is<br />
most successful when Inuit involvement and local<br />
control support a system reflecting Inuit culture<br />
and visions.<br />
