Böcker av Joan Sangster

In Dreams of Equality, Joan Sangster chronicles in fascinating detail the first tentative stages of a politically aware women's movement in Canada, from the time of women's suffrage to the 1950's when the CPC went into decline and the CCF began to experience the changes that would evolve into the New Democratic Party a decade later.

Earning Respect examines the lives of white and blue-collar women workers in Peterborough between 1920 and 1960 and notes the emerging changes in their work lives, as working daughters gradually became working mothers.
