Using Foucauldian theories of governmentality to connect these first-person narratives to wider strategies of race making, Jennifer Henderson develops a feminist critique of the ostensible freedom that Anglo-Protestant women found within nineteenth-century liberal projects of rule. Henderson's interdisciplinary approach--including critical studies in law, literature, and political history--offers a new perspective on these women that detaches them from the dominant colony-to-nation narrative and shows their importance in a tradition of moral regulation. This project not only redresses problems in Canadian literary history, it also responds to the limits of postcolonial, nationalist, and feminist projects that search for authentic voices and resistant agency without sufficient attention to the layers of historical sedimentation through which these voices speak. 606 $aWomen pioneers$zCanada$vBiography 606 $aWomen and literature$zCanada 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life in literature 606 $aCanadian literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life$zCanada 606 $aWomen, White$zCanada$vBiography 606 $aRace relations in literature 607 $aCanada$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen pioneers 615 0$aWomen and literature 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life in literature. 615 0$aCanadian literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life 615 0$aWomen, White 615 0$aRace relations in literature. 676 $a305.4/0971/0904 700 $aHenderson$b Jennifer$g(Jennifer Anne),$01042856 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456168203321 996 $aSettler feminism and race making in Canada$92467402 997 $aUNINA
