CANADIAN WOMEN AND THE SECOND WORLD WAR
Ruth Roach Pierson
Since the completion of volume 66 of Canada's Visual History, the author has published a book-length study of the Second World War and Canadian womanhood entitled "They're Still Women After All," as well as a booklet on the subject for the Canadian Historical Association. Several other studies were also completed on the history of Canadian women and the Second World War, including the popular ones by Jean Bruce and Carolyn Gossage. Of great importance is the widely acclaimed novel Obasan, by Joy Kogawa, which tells the story of a young Japanese Canadian girl and her family, who experience the impact of the government's policies of expropriation, incarceration, and forced relocation during the war and immediately after. In addition, Dionne Brand edited a collection of personal narratives entitled No Burden to Carry, which documents how "things opened up" during the war for black working women in Ontario. Finally, in their book, which focuses on Quebec, GeneviΦve Auger and Raymonde Lamothe argue that the wartime images of women as strong and equal to men did not change the power inequalities fundamentally structuring women's lives.
