Final Call for Papers
Publication -  A Century Stronger: Women's History in Canada, 1900 to
2000

Deadline for submissions is 1 December 1998

The editorial board of A Century Stronger: Women's History in Canada
1900 to 2000 is looking for participants from across Canada to
contribute essays in their field of specialization, or from the records
they work with, to a millennium project documenting women's lives and
achievements.

Our objective is to create a large compilation of stories, vignettes,
and essays that will provide Canadians with a better understanding of
the history of women in Canada over the past century. Our aim is to
publish a book which appeals to the general public, and could be used in
undergraduate courses. This project is to be based on visual documents,
oral history, and textual sources. We are looking specifically for
previously unpublished materials on the following topics: women and
sport, the home, science, commerce and immigration.

If you are a student, professor or a professional working in the
discipline of history as an historian, curator or archivist, please post
this call for papers in your department or place of work.

We are seeking several types of contributions based on archival sources.

1. Short runner or marginal notes (about 3-5 sentences each).
2. Vignettes or short article (up to 5 pages).
3. Information on archival documents of relevance - letters, poems,
anecdotes, photographs, recordings, oral histories, that would be
illustrative of the changes in women's lives over the past century.
Please include a short note identifying the document's significance,
noting any copyright or other restrictions. Please do NOT send original
archival materials - copies or a description will suffice.
4. Illustrations. All images will be returned on request at the end of
the project.

Please send two copies of all submissions to:
