Nineteenth-century New Brunswick society was dominated by white,
Protestant, Anglophone men. Yet, during this time of state
formation in Canada, women increasingly helped to define and shape
a provincial outlook. I wish to keep a record is the first book to
focus exclusively on the life-course experiences of
nineteenth-century New Brunswick women. Gail G. Campbell offers an
interpretive scholarly analysis of 28 women's diaries while
enticing readers to listen to the voices of the diarists. Their
diaries show women constructing themselves as individuals, assuming
their essential place in building families and communities, and
shaping their society by directing its outward gaze and envisioning
its future. Campbell's lively analysis calls on scholars to
distinguish between immigrant and native-born women and to move
beyond present-day conceptions of such women's world. This unique
study provides a framework for developing an understanding of
women's worlds in nineteenth-century North America.
