Using more than eighty interviews with women who lived and worked in Toronto in the 1930s, \u003cem\u003eBreadwinning Daughters\u003c\/em\u003e examines the consequences of these years for women in their homes and workplaces, and in the city's court rooms and dance halls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this insightful account, Katrina Srigley argues that young women were central to the labour market and family economies of Depression-era Toronto. Oral histories give voice to women from a range of cultural and economic backgrounds, and challenge readers to consider how factors such as race, gender, class, and marital status shaped women's lives and influenced their job options, family arrangements, and leisure activities. \u003cem\u003eBreadwinning Daughters\u003c\/em\u003e brings to light previously forgotten and unstudied experiences and illustrates how women found various ways to negotiate the burdens and joys of the 1930s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128466620656,"sku":"9781442697270","price":17.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442697270_p0.jpg?v=1763809831","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442697270","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
