In "Through Feminist Eyes," historian Joan Sangster uses a
selection of her writings, published over a period of three
decades, as a gateway into reflections on the themes and
theoretical concerns that have shaped both the writing of women's
history in Canada and her own evolution as a feminist historian. As
in the original essays themselves, she brings to these reflections
her distinctive combination of insight, honesty, and impeccable
scholarship.
Joan Sangster is professor of women's studies and history at
Trent University, where she also teaches at the Frost Centre for
Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies. Her many publications
include "Transforming Labour: Women and Work in Postwar Canada" and
"Girl Trouble: Female Delinquency in English Canada. "
"Joan Sangster's work has always been ground-breaking,
continually providing new perspectives on issues of women, gender,
class, and race in diverse settings.... "Through Feminist Eyes"
makes an important theoretical contribution to the field by
gathering together some of Sangster's key essays for the first time
and offering her thoughtful commentary on her own intellectual
trajectory."--Sarah Carter, University of Alberta
"Sangster raises questions about assumptions and norms that have
shaped feminist historiography, making this a provocative and
eloquent testimony about the importance of scrutinizing evidence
and perspectives."--Laurie Mercier, Washington State University
