By putting past and present scholarship into dialogue with each other, this book addresses accomplishments in Canadian women’s and gender history, as well as ongoing silences and absences.

Inspired by the question of "what’s next?" in the field of Canadian women’s and gender history, this broadly historiographical volume represents a conversation among established and emerging scholars who share a commitment to understanding the past from intersectional feminist perspectives. It includes original essays on Quebecois, Indigenous, Black, and immigrant women’s histories and tackles such diverse topics as colonialism, religion, labour, warfare, sexuality, and reproductive labour and justice. Intended as a regenerative retrospective of a critically important field, this collection both engages analytically with the current state of women’s and gender historiography in Canada and draws on its rich past to generate new knowledge and areas for inquiry.

Nancy Janovicek is an associate professor of History at the University of Calgary. Carmen Nielson is an associate professor of History at Mount Royal University.
