Adams argues that gender was central to the establishment of the dental profession. Over time, dentistry developed from being a trade to garnering professional status. The early dentists worked to recruit, and indeed structured the profession in such a way as to recruit, middle-class white men into the profession. Gender and class divisions were drawn upon both to define and legitimate professional roles and claims to professional status; by definition, a professional was a gentleman. "A Dentist and a Gentleman" uses historical documents including dental journals and dental board and association meeting minutes to detail both the key events in the establishment of the dental profession and the efforts of professional leaders to define and structure their profession to meet the gentlemanly ideal. "A Dentist and a Gentleman" is a fascinating social history for anyone interested in profession creation and gender and professions. 606 $aDentistry$zOntario$xHistory 606 $aDentistry$xSocial aspects$zOntario 606 $aSexual division of labor$zOntario$xHistory 606 $aWomen dentists$zOntario$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDentistry$xHistory. 615 0$aDentistry$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSexual division of labor$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen dentists$xHistory. 676 $a617.6/009713 700 $aAdams$b Tracey Lynn$f1966-$01047700 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456455503321 996 $aA dentist and a gentleman$92475474 997 $aUNINA
