Feminism and the Office in Canadian Literature Kait Pinder
This talk examines how feminism became a source of inspiration for Canadian writers in the early and mid-twentieth century by focusing on two now-canonical texts. J.G. Sime’s short story collection Sister Woman (1919) and P.K. Page’s poem “The Stenographers” (1942) connect the labour of typists to the work of creative writing. In critiquing the gendered inequities of women’s paid labour, Sime and Page also comment on their own working conditions as writers and the patriarchal contexts in which their writing was received and valued.
Every week, we invite ALL members and members of our local community to join us for a free, casual ALLways Learning Series (formerly Lunchtime Learning Series). We cover topics both big and small in scope, from local to international, and from arts to sciences. We aim to offer lively talks, from engaging speakers, that anyone in the audience can enjoy.
