PLACING WOMEN'S STORIES IN THE HISTORICAL LANDSCAPE

|
In a history dominated by colonial wars, politics, and trade, all considered the domain of men until the mid-20th century, how do we find women’s stories? What do they add to our understanding? In this presentation, well-known stories of Mi’kma’ki/Nova Scotia from the 17th-century to the Second World War, will be told from the perspective of women.
