This issue of the London Journal of Canadian Studies takes up the subject of gender and the Canadian city. Most of the articles here were first presented at the London Conference for Canadian Studies’ Gender and the City conference that was held in February 2006.
The essays in this collection demonstrate the ways cities are useful places to look at the changing gendered experiences of Canadians, and also of the ways cities themselves have become symbols of gender and culture. The essays also blend history and literature, beginning with three articles on history and then moving on to three literary pieces.
