16.2707 Discuss the occupational options that working class women had in Canada 1880-1920s.
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 labour 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. 9 pgs. 17 f/c. 8b.

17.2761 Women, Gender and Education in 19th Century Canada.
This paper discusses how ideas of gender affected women in 19th century Canada just as they do today. And it affected them then, and affects them today, in a negative way. Because of the social construction of gender meanings, women encounter unfair educations experiences that are meant to gear them toward subordinate work. The real interest of women, unfortunately, is what society says it should be. A combination of direct and subtle pressure maximizes the likelihood that women will be marginalized in society, and confined to the home. It is only through education that women can break this patriarchal attempt at social control. 7 pgs. 14 f/c. 7b.

18.3854 The Paradox of Women and the Welfare State: A Radical Feminist Approach.
In light of the budget cuts and associated protests that have dominated political life in Canada through the 1990s and into the twenty-first century - and given the prominence of feminist groups in challenging these cuts - it may come as a surprise to many to find that feminists are ambivalent about the modern welfare state. This essay will argue that, from a feminist perspective, the social welfare state mirrors the conflicting attitudes and paradoxical expectations of society with regard to women. 6 pgs.

19.3862 "State Power Is Male Power": Women And The Welfare State.
Canada and the United States are in the midst of a period of economic expansion almost unprecedented in history. Integral to this expansion has been the tax and spending cuts of ideologically conservative governments. These governments have removed a great many lazy women and children from the welfare rolls and, through policies such as workfare, made them productive workers in our society. This paper will demonstrate, however, that this process may be seen as very logical when viewed from a feminist perspective. Underlying the conservative arguments about finances and budget is a subtextual debate about power in general, and patriarchal power in particular. It will be argued that the welfare state is an integral feature of this patriarchal power structure. As such, the welfare state's focus on the weakest and the most disadvantaged in our society - whether in cutting benefits or controlling behaviour - reflects a continuing interest of patriarchal power structures in dominating the lives of women who are disproportionately represented in those dependent upon the welfare state. 7 pgs.

20.3884 Using Women for Political Expediency.
This paper discusses the issue of gender equality in Canada. While it notes that many measures have been implemented that have narrowed the gender gap, the paper contends that inequality still exists because it is rooted within the societal institutions themselves. As a result, feminist issues are used by governments and political parties for political expediency, since women are given certain freedoms and advantages within the boundaries of their marginalization. 18 pgs.
