For families in Montreal, reconstruction plans included a stable home life hinged on social and economic security, female suffrage, welfare-state measures, and a reasonable cost of living. In Household Politics, Magda Fahrni examines postwar reconstruction from a variety of angles in order to fully convey its significance in the 1940s as differences of class, gender, language, religion, and region naturally produced differing perspectives.Reconstruction was not simply a matter of official policy. Although the government set many of the parameters for public debate, federal projects did not inspire a postwar consensus, and families alternatively embraced, negotiated, or opposed government plans. Through in-depth research from a wide variety of sources, Fahrni brings together family history, social history, and political history to look at a wide variety of Montreal families - French-speaking and English-speaking; Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish - making Household Politics a particularly unique and erudite study. 410 0$aStudies in gender and history ;$v27. 606 $aFamilies$zQue?bec (Province)$zMontre?al$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCharities$zQue?bec (Province)$zMontre?al$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aMontre?al (Que?bec)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aCanada$xSocial policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFamilies$xHistory 615 0$aCharities$xHistory 676 $a306.8509714/2809045 700 $aFahrni$b Magdalena$f1970-$0964664 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459666503321 996 $aHousehold politics$92188644 997 $aUNINA
