Domesticating Canberra : the Federal Capital Commission and the Domestic-Servant Project -- Conclusion."The period between the 1860s and the 1920s witnessed a wave of female migration from Britain to Canada and Australia, much of which was managed by women. Agents of Empire explores the work of the women who promoted, managed, and ultimately transformed single British women's experiences of migration." "Agents of Empire highlights the aims and methods behind the emigrators' work, as well as the implications and ramifications of their long-term engagement with this imperialistic feminizing project. Chilton provides insight into the struggle for control of female migration and female migrants, adding an important dimension to the study of gender, migration, and empire."--Jacket.Studies in gender and history.Women immigrantsCanadaSocial conditions19th centuryWomen immigrantsCanadaSocial conditions20th centuryCanadaEmigration and immigrationHistory19th centuryCanadaEmigration and immigrationHistory20th centuryAustraliaEmigration and immigrationHistory19th centuryAustraliaEmigration and immigrationHistory20th centuryCanadaÉmigration et immigrationHistoire19e siècleCanadaÉmigration et immigrationHistoire20e siècleAustralieÉmigration et immigrationHistoire19e siècleAustralieÉmigration et immigrationHistoire20e siècleHistory.Electronic books.
