Our familial histories, the lives of our ancestors, all fit into the much larger context of the society in which they lived. If we pay enough attention, we can see traces of that in our research. These little pieces of the past can be very instructive, as they can help us better understand certain realities. In this sense, I believe genealogy can serve feminist emancipation : it can shed light on women\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Genealogy can teach us a lot about the living conditions of women at different times. In our genealogical research, we can discover how many children our female ancestors had, at what interval, how many survived, how old they were when they got married and when they gave birth, if they became widows, how many times, at what age, etc. From these facts, we can rebuild their life stories, partially of course, since their lives cannot be summed up entirely to their familial context. However, because the social role of women has often been to take care of their families, these facts can teach us a lot about their daily lives, the major milestones of their lives and the challenges they faced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Fiche-individu-sicotte-EN-e1645130941959.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"592\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Fiche-individu-sicotte-EN-e1645130941959.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Fiche-individu-sicotte-EN-e1645130941959.png 592w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Fiche-individu-sicotte-EN-e1645130941959-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Source: Individual File 13420, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prdh-igd.com\/en\/abonnement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PRDH-IGD.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Fiche-famille-sicotte-EN-e1645130923713.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"714\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Fiche-famille-sicotte-EN-e1645130923713-1024x714.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Fiche-famille-sicotte-EN-e1645130923713-1024x714.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Fiche-famille-sicotte-EN-e1645130923713-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Fiche-famille-sicotte-EN-e1645130923713-768x535.png 768w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Fiche-famille-sicotte-EN-e1645130923713.png 1198w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Source: Family File 4903, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prdh-igd.com\/en\/abonnement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PRDH-IGD.com<\/a><br>Marie Catherine Sicotte&#8217;s individual and family files from PRDH-IGD.com give us a relatively detailed overview of her life; her place and date of birth, marriage and death, the names of her parents as well as the list of her children including the place and date of their birth, marriage and death.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We can also certainly see in this information the different ways in which patriarchy influenced women\u2019s lives. Subtle social norms and very concrete laws concerning the injunction to marriage and motherhood or access to contraception and abortion are directly reflected in our family trees and in our family histories. When we connect the life stories of several generations, we can see how these influences changed over the decades, or even centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Genealogy can also help us understand what roles women played in society. The documents we use in a genealogical research often mention the men\u2019s occupations, but it\u2019s a lot more rare for women, who were taking care of the children or helping with the family business in the shadows of their husbands. However, there is an exception : the midwives! Midwives who assisted the birth of a child are sometimes mentioned on baptismal records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bsilisse-EN-e1645130907832.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bsilisse-EN-e1645130907832-1024x326.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bsilisse-EN-e1645130907832-1024x326.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bsilisse-EN-e1645130907832-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bsilisse-EN-e1645130907832-768x244.png 768w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bsilisse-EN-e1645130907832-1536x489.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bsilisse-EN-e1645130907832.png 1914w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Source: Record 2953156, LAFRANCE, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GenealogieQuebec.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The roles women played in our societies were rarely recognized, let alone valued: and yet, they were crucial. Midwives often were essential local medical resources, especially in smaller or remote villages where access to a doctor was not always guaranteed (Laforce, 1983 :7 ; Bates <em>et al<\/em>, 2005 :18). House work and child rearing are also essential in any family, and it was often because women took care of it that men were able to devote themselves to more public and supposedly important activities (like politics, art, science, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This devalorization continues to this day : women who choose to be stay-at-home-moms are often seen as \u2018\u2019not working\u2019\u2019 (we can think of the notorious play \u2018\u2019M\u00f4man travaille pas, a trop d\u2019ouvrage\u2019\u2019&nbsp; (mom doesn\u2019t have a job, she has too much work) (Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des cuisines, 1976)) and jobs typically done by women are significatively underpaid. Canadian Women\u2019s Foundation underlines that \u2018\u2019jobs that conform to traditional gender roles tend to be undervalued because they parallel domestic work that women were expected to perform for free\u2019\u2019 (Canadian Women\u2019s Foundation, 2021). By putting these roles forward in our genealogical research, we can participate in their revalorization, so that the contributions of women from the past and the present are more recognized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of genealogical research can also bridge the gap between familial histories, personal to each genealogist, and the much more global history of a society. Genealogy can therefore link the public and private spheres even if they are presented as fundamentally opposed by the patriarchy (Bereni and Revillard, 2009). This opposition is directly linked to women\u2019s oppression : because these spheres are seen as completely different, even incompatible, women\u2019s assignment to the private sphere necessarily excludes them from the public sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feminists worked towards the deconstruction of this opposition : this idea is notoriously carried in the famous slogan of radical feminists \u2018\u2019the personal is political\u2019\u2019. We can therefore consider that particular genealogical practices which link these two spheres and blur the line that divide them participate to this deconstruction and to the feminist emancipation project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Audrey Pepin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Bibliography<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Bates, Christina, Dodd, Diane and Rousseau, Nicole (2005). <em>Sans Fronti\u00e8res : quatre si\u00e8cles de soins infirmiers canadiens<\/em>.
