Yet, during this time of state formation in Canada, women increasingly helped to define and shape a provincial outlook.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wish to keep a record is the first book to focus exclusively on the life-course experiences of nineteenth-century New Brunswick women. Gail G. Campbell offers an interpretive scholarly analysis of 28 women's diaries while enticing readers to listen to the voices of the diarists. Their diaries show women constructing themselves as individuals, assuming their essential place in building families and communities, and shaping their society by directing its outward gaze and envisioning its future. Campbell's lively analysis calls on scholars to distinguish between immigrant and native-born women and to move beyond present-day conceptions of such women's world. This unique study provides a framework for developing an understanding of women's worlds in nineteenth-century North America. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gail Campbell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487520182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487520182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Gail Campbell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136045863167,"sku":"9781487520182","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08e85288-9489-43a4-b078-a53c22fa9a42.jpg?v=1726415521","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-wish-to-keep-a-gail-campbell-9781487520182","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
