Abstract
The paper relates that at the start of World War ll women were denied entry to positions in the workforce that were previously thought of as reserved only for men. Thus, the earning capacity of women was considerably lower than that of men and they were unable to accede to positions of economic or political power as well. The paper continues by highlighting that, as a result of the male task force being involved in fighting a war, vacancies in the work situation became available to Canadian women and thus it became apparent that women proved to be as efficient as men in a previous male-dominated areas. Encouraged by capitalism and the ruling powers and the press, Canadian women were now holding major positions which the government attempted unsuccessfully to reverse after the war. The paper concludes that WWI helped women realize their capabilities and achieve equality with their male counterparts.
From the Paper
"In this analysis, it is important to bear in mind that women in Canada have always worked, in one way or another. Feminist scholars such as Bradbury have eloquently dismissed the myth that dual-income families are a new phenomenon, a product of the women's movement in the last few decades. In her analysis of working class families in the period from the 1860s to the 1890s - the time of the industrial revolution in Canada - Bradbury shows that even in that time, married Canadian women were actively involved in a broad range of income-generating activities, such as taking in boarders. At the same time, they were also expected to handle all domestic labour. Bradbury reproduces a cartoon showing a woman on her knees, doing the washing, while her husband eats dinner. The caption reads: "You complain, my poor husband, or your ten hours of labour. Yet I have been working for fourteen hours, and I have not yet finished my day." Bradbury also makes the point that women's labour was essential, and that if most families had relied on the husband's earnings alone, "poverty, even starvation, would have been chronic." Moreover, men would not have had the strength to labour at the factories for ten hours, and women would not have been well enough nourished to produce viable babies. In short, the "working class could not have reproduced itself."

Abstract
Several eminent authors have composed various masterpieces or performed intensive research on the bittersweet experiences, as well as the treatment of immigrant women in Canada. This paper discusses a particular group - the Chinese and the Hong Kong women who settled in Canada. Firstly, this paper provides an account of the progress of the immigration policies in Canada since its origin until today and its effects on the entryway of Chinese immigrant women in Canada. The paper then presents the effect of standardized policies regarding race and sex on Chinese immigrant women. Lastly, this report looks into the institutional processes, including employment and unemployment as well as the organizational processes including the relationships between family members, child care, household chores and social life which affected the lives of skilled Chinese women who migrated from China and Hong Kong and are settled in Canada.
From the Paper
"Such processes are the cause of ?social injustice? (Racism, sexism, and experience of Chinese Immigrant) within a society. Following is the account of effects of institutionalized processes in employment that is based on two surveys including married women immigrants from Hong Kong as well as China. These two studies show that most women moved to Canada with their husbands under the independent class or as business immigrants (Racism, sexism, and experience of Chinese Immigrant). These women worked back home on the basis of their individual degrees and were considered highly skilled workers but when they moved to Canada, they were not eligible for the Canadian experience requirement and as a result they were unable to work. Some of the women, who did manage to seek employment, were either underpaid or were rejected. The Canadian women irrespective of their qualifications were given preference over the Chinese immigrant women."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, in spite of significant under reporting of the role of Jewish women within the creation, formation, and continuance of the Jewish community, these persons are highly active both within the formalized religious structure and the informal socio-cultural communities affiliated with a given synagogue. This paper demonstrates the impact and the role of the woman within the Jewish communities in North America, with an emphasis on the Conservative Jewish community and comparing and contrasting differences between Jewish women within Canada and North America.
From the Paper
"Women within the Jewish community are accorded rights and privileges that are rarely found within other theologically-oriented communities, such as a matrilineal line of integration into the faith and the ability to own property and acquire protection under the sanctity of law. Yet despite these obvious distinctions from the majority of the world's major religions, women within the Jewish community tend to face overt and understated forms of segregation in terms of the interpretation of their actions. Through extension, this understatement of their role in the community can be interpreted as purposeful or accidental devaluation. "

Immigrant Women in Canada, 2005.
This paper examines immigrant women in Canada and the concept of racialization.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 1 source, £ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper is composed of two sub-essays dealing with the experience of Canadian women in Canada, relating to its settlement. The first question deals with the question of racialization and the creation of the other, both with negative and valorized stereotypes. The second question answers a broad course question regarding the background of Terra Nullius to the readings.
From the Paper
"There are various structural reasons behind the emergence of racism. It is a process that combines a variety of factors such as an inherent human ethnocentrism, fear of the other and economic structures, to name a few. As Frantz Fanon pointed out, racialization and the creation of the Other is a complementary process. As much as people are the products of their environments, they also create them. The oppressor and the oppressed ultimately both adopt the identities that are given to them, and contribute to shaping the system they are a part of."

Women in Canada's Labor Force: 1880-1920, 2002.

Abstract
This paper will clearly demonstrate that Canadian society between 1880 and 1920 saw significant enlargement in terms of women's gender roles, but even at the end of WWI, women's participation in the labor force was perceived to be a temporary necessity. As the wartime economy returned to its civilian form, most Canadians expected gender roles to return to their previous (im)balance. The seeds for the emancipation of women, however, had been sewn and it was only a matter of time before they would grow.

Immigration, Women, and Oppression in Canada, 2002.
Examines the reality of how migrant women's contribution to the survival of their family and community has not been recognized in Canada.

Abstract
This paper shows that the dominant culture in Canada has not valued domestic labour and communal work because it does not fall under the category of "economic development". Thus, women migrants who work in the home and in the community help their families survive, but because of the sexist and classist lens through which elites have seen their own history, they are ignored by the "official" history of the country they live in. Moreover, they are already dealing with a disadvantage, since the society itself is misogynist and sexist.

Abstract
This paper examines the status of women in contemporary Canada and Afghanistan, highlighting two societies that really cannot be compared. At the same time, this paper's topic remains illuminating because it shows how women have been given unequal roles, over time, as they have been fitted into changing economies and societies in ways preventing gender equality. This paper refers to a handful of sources that offer some less considered features of both societies with regard to the status of women.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Canada has put in place several legislative devices in an attempt to ensure that women do not suffer discrimination. There has also been a growing recognition that discriminating against women in the labour market is unfair and should not be tolerated. This paper shows how although considerable gains have been made, women have not yet achieved equality in the Canadian labour market and that this, in fact, reflects a lingering and pervasive inequality of the sexes within Canadian society.

Abstract
This paper is a study of working conditions for women in Canadian factories, an important undertaking as it helps to identify the origins of economic freedom for women and to a lesser extent other minority groups such as the native Indian populations. This paper explores the rise of the industrialized factory setting and in doing so shall demonstrate that the increased need for unskilled labor created a demand for workers which in turn changed the perception of persons who were previously undesirable labor candidates into persons who were seen as a labor resource.

Abstract
This is an exhaustive paper examining the way that women mentor women in modern American professional society. Examines the history of the phenomenon, and gives information on how mentoring should be given and received.
From the Paper
"Women mentoring women in the workplace is a relatively new phenomenon. Woman-to-woman mentoring encompasses circumstances and rules that are specific to a female style and representative of a female culture. The workplace puts demands on our priorities and our energy that bring new factors into woman-to-woman relationships. Our identity as professional women with career responsibilities affects our interactions with other women who are also committed to improving their performance and achieving greater success. Women learning from women at work, women mentoring each other as career professionals with job and personal lives, is an emerging opportunity with enormous potential to change work and women's lives for the future (Duff, 1999, p. xv & xvi). Mentoring begins with an influence that someone has upon another person. It also can help to shape and develop a person's personality and thoughts. In research, it has been proven that women need role models that help them to pursue and conquer future endeavors in the workforce. Discovery into the differences between males and females might be a way to unlock strategies to aid in diversity counseling as well as provide positions in organizations that are solely devoted to mentorship."
