To be able to do this highlighting work, it is necessary to know a bit about the context in which women were living. A good starting point for this is the book <em>Quebec Women : a History <\/em>from the Clio Collective (1987).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Clio Collective was formed by four historians : Marie Lavigne, Jennifer Stoddart, Micheline Dumont and Mich\u00e8le Jean. The name is inspired by Greek mythology : Clio, daughter of Mnemosyne, the memory goddess, is History\u2019s Muse. It seems the four authors were inspired by genealogical questions as well. They open their book with a short anecdote :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Clio-et-Mnemosyne-image-1-e1670350751640-1024x678.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Clio-et-Mnemosyne-image-1-e1670350751640-1024x678.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Clio-et-Mnemosyne-image-1-e1670350751640-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Clio-et-Mnemosyne-image-1-e1670350751640-768x508.png 768w, https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Clio-et-Mnemosyne-image-1-e1670350751640.png 1278w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>On the left, a portrait of Clio, History&#8217;s Muse, by Johannes Moreelse ; on the right, a portrait of Mnemosyne, goddess of memory, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Source : Wikimedia Commons.&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221;Seven-year old Anne was sitting in the corner of the kitchen, tracing her family tree. She named people as if reciting a nursery rhyme. &#8220;My mother&#8217;s name is Juliette, Juliette&#8217;s mother was called Rebecca, Rebecca&#8217;s mother was Maria, Maria&#8217;s mother was Emilie&#8230;&#8221; [&#8230;] In history classes, nobody could tell her what Emilie, her great-great-grandmother, had done&#8221;(Clio\u2019s Collective, 1987 : 11).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, when the four historians got together, in the 70s, there did not exist a book synthetizing women\u2019s history in Quebec : therefore, their goal was to write one. They wanted to show that &#8221;Women were not only spectators, but also actors in the world\u2019s history&#8221; (Collard, 2012). By this, they didn\u2019t only mean &#8221;great women&#8221; such as Therese Casgrain or Marguerite Bourgeoys, but also the hundreds of thousands of Emilie, women most would consider &#8221;insignificant&#8221; (Clio Collective, 1997 : 11).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Quebec Women : a History <\/em>can teach us a lot about these &#8221;ordinary&#8221; women we often find in our family trees. The book covers four centuries of history, from 1617 to 1979. It can therefore be a very useful complement to our genealogical research. Divided in six periods (Beginnings 1617-1703 ; Stability 1701-1832 ; Upheavals 1832-1900 ; Contradictions 1900-1940 ; The Impasse 1940-1969 ; and The Explosion 1969-1979), the book explores a great variety of subjects. We can find details about parts of life often considered &#8221;trivial&#8221; (the modalities surrounding family life or work, for example), but also clarifications of how significant political events, such as major wars or regime changes, affected women\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genealogiequebec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Collectif-Clio-anglais-image-2-e1670350769769.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4103\" width=\"239\" height=\"359\"\/><figcaption>Book cover of&nbsp;<em>Quebec Women:  a History<\/em>&nbsp;from the Clio Collective (1987)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the fourth cover of the French version of Clio\u2019s Collective\u2019s book, we can read &#8221;Some might say : &#8221;Another book about women!&#8221; They are wrong. It is another history book. It\u2019s history told differently&#8221; (Clio Collective, 1982). This short quote already announces that it\u2019s not only about feminism, it\u2019s about having a more complete vision of history. It summarizes well the interest we should, as genealogists, have in the issues raised by the Collective. The book was wildly successful (after all, we are still talking about it as we celebrate its fortieth birthday this year) and has greatly contributed to moving things forward, but even today, we must acknowledge that there is still work to be done in the recognition of women\u2019s role in history.. A reform of the education program would certainly help, and as genealogists, we can also contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its desire for universalization, the Clio Collective couldn\u2019t talk about everything : blind spots are expected in all history books. But it\u2019s important to avoid universalizing the experiences described in <em>Quebec Women : a History. <\/em>Racialized women (particularly black women), indigenous women, immigrant women as well as lesbians, among others, are sometimes mentionned but would certainly have benefited from occupying a more important place in the book : after all, they were also part of the history of Quebec and we should not forget it. As such, it is important to read this book with a critical eye, keeping in mind an intersectional perspective which highlights other axes of oppression such as race. <em>Quebec Women : a History<\/em> is still very pertinent, in particular to analyze the lives of white and heterosexual women in Quebec across centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will find a great number of references to dig into more specific subjects in the bibliography of <em>Quebec Women : a History. <\/em>I\u2019m also leaving some suggestions of books that are not in its bibliography as they were published afterwards. Once again, the experiences of white and heterosexual women are at the center of those books. If you know other references thatdeal with women\u2019s history in Quebec, don\u2019t hesitate to <a href=\"mailto:audrey.pepin@hotmail.ca\">email me<\/a>, in particular if they focus on the reality of marginalized women (immigrants, non-whites, non-heterosexuals, etc). I will add them here : this way we can create a reference bank on women\u2019s history, which will certainly enrich our genealogical research.<\/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>References of women\u2019s history :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>General :<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Clio\u2019s Collective (1987). <em>Quebec Women : a History.<\/em> Toronto : The Women&#8217;s Press, 396 p.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Collectif Clio (1982). <em>L\u2019histoire des femmes au Qu\u00e9bec depuis quatre si\u00e8cles<\/em>.
