Canada
| Female voices are rare in the historical record of the Mennonites. nevertheless, Mennonite women were influential in shaping Mennonite and Canadian society. Mennonite Women in Canada, the first comprehensive history of Mennonite women, traces their role over the past two hundred years. Marlene Epp explores women's roles within the contests of immigration, family, church life, work, education, and social life. Comparing how Mennonites dictate women's "place" within society with how women actually behave, Epp finds a contradiction between behavioral ideals and practicalities. Also women's responses to dictates about their proper place vary widely, unsettling a clear delineation of their roles. Using diaries, oral histories, genealogies and memoirs, Epp presents a fascinating story of Canadian Mennonite women. Ships November 2008 Copyright 2008 University of Manitoba Press | |
