Through a study of the British Empire's largest women's patriotic
organisation, formed in 1900, and still in existence, this book
examines the relationship between female imperialism and national
identity. It throws new light on women's involvement in
imperialism; on the history of 'conservative' women's
organisations; on women's interventions in debates concerning
citizenship and national identity; and on the history of women in
white settler societies. After placing the IODE (Imperial Order
Daughters of the Empire) in the context of recent scholarly work in
Canadian, gender, imperial history and post-colonial theory, the
book follows the IODE's history through the twentieth century.
Chapters focus upon the IODE's attempts to create a British Canada
through its maternal feminist work in education, health, welfare
and citizenship. In addition it reflects on the IODE's responses to
threats to Anglo-Canadian hegemony posed by immigration, World Wars
and Communism, and examines the complex relationship between
imperial loyalty and settler nationalism. Tracing the organisation
into the postcolonial era, where previous imperial ideas are
outmoded, it considers the transformation from patriotism to
charity, and the turn to colonisation at home in the Canadian
North.
