520 1 "Heroines and History is a co-authored, comparative study
of the images of Madeleine de Vercheres and Laura Secord,
symbols respectively of French-Canadian and English-
Canadian loyalism and nationalism. The authors explore the
roles of gender, race/ethnicity, and imperialism in
defining national identity and shaping the past by looking
at the role of local historical societies, the formation
of narratives of Loyalism and the War of 1812 in school
texts, and the use of historical figures in the service of
twentieth-century consumer capitalism (e.g., the Secord
chocolate company) and in the development of tourism."
"This is a fascinating comparison of the histories of
Ontario and Quebec as seen through the handling of their
best-known heroines. Most Canadians are familiar with
stories of Madeleine de Vercheres defending Montreal
against the Iroquois in 1692 and of Laura Secord and her
cow bravely crossing the American lines to warn the
British during the War of 1812. In both cases, the authors
show how these heroines were used for nationalistic
purposes in their respective provinces, and how their
images changed down through the ages." "Heroines and
History makes a significant contribution to the growing
body of literature on commemoration, as well as to the
literatures of gender, cultural, and Aboriginal studies.
It will be of interest both to specialist academic readers
and general readers of Canadian history and society."--
