In postwar Canada, having a child out-of-wedlock invariably meant
being subject to the adoption mandate. Andrews describes the
mandate as a process of interrelated institutional power systems
which, together with socio-cultural norms, ideals of gender
heteronormativity, and emerging sociological and psychoanalytic
theories, created historically unique conditions in the post WWII
decades wherein the white unmarried mother was systematically
separated from her baby by means of adoption. This volume uncovers
and substantiates evidence of the mandate, ultimately finding that
at least 350,000 unmarried mothers in Canada were impacted.
