A silent revolution?: gender and wealth in English Canada, 1860-1930
"A Silent Revolution? explores how urban women managed wealth at a time when they were thought to have little independence - including economic - and shows that women were in fact important players in the world of capital. Peter Baskerville situates women in their immediate gendered and familial environments as well as within broader legal, financial, spatial, temporal, and historiographical contexts. He analyses women's probates, wills, land ownership, holdings of real and chattel mortgages, investment in stocks and bonds, and self employment, revealing that women controlled wealth to an extent similar to that of most men and invested and managed wealth in increasingly similar, and in some cases more aggressive, ways."--Book cover

Home Ownership and Spacious Homes: Equity under Stress in Early-Twentieth-Century Canada
In: Journal of family history: studies in family, kinship and demography, Band 26, Heft 2, S. 272-288
ISSN: 1552-5473
This article attempts to contribute to a burgeoning literature on Canadian housing history. It approaches the nature of housing by linking two measurements often examined in isolation: ownership and interior space. Using data from the Canadian Families Project's 5 percent random sample of the nominal census returns for Canada in 1901, this article presents the first national analysis comparing housing ownership and housing space in both rural and urban Canada. It attempts to determine, via a series of logistic regressions, the relative importance of several social and economic variables on a family's chances of owning a home and of living in a crowded or relatively spacious environment. The article demonstrates that the social and economic influences on the chances of ownership differed in some significant ways from the influences on the chances of living in a spacious home.

Lives in transition: longitudinal analysis from historical sources
In: Carleton Library series 232
Collective histories and broad social change are informed by the ways in which personal lives unfold. This book examines individual experiences within such collective histories during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Collective histories and broad social change are informed by the ways in which personal lives unfold. Lives in Transition examines individual experiences within such collective histories during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This collection brings together sources from Europe, North America, and Australia in order to advance the field of quantitative longitudinal historical research. The essays examine the lives and movements of various populations over time that were important for Europe and its overseas settlements - including the experience of convicts transported to Australia and Scots who moved freely to New Zealand. The micro-level roots of economic change and social mobility of settler society are analyzed through populations studies of Chicago, Montreal, as well as rural communities in Canada and the United States. Several studies also explore ethnic inequality as experienced by Polish immigrants, French-Canadians, and Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Lives in Transition demonstrates how the analysis of collective experience through both individual-level and large-scale data at different moments in history opens up important avenues for social science and historical research.
