Long after eastern Canada was considered settled and urbanized, the West continued to be represented as a frontier where the idea of the region as a society in the making added resonance to the idea of the working girl as social pioneer. Using an innovative interpretive approach that centres on literary representation, Lindsey McMaster heightens our understanding of a figure that fired the imagination of writers and observers. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900 - 1999|2fast 650 0 Women employees in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh96009194 650 0 Women in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85147587 650 0 Women employees|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh94005535|zCanada, Western|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85019364-781|xSocial conditions |y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2001008860 650 0 Women|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85147274 |zCanada, Western|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85019364-781|xSocial conditions|y20th century.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001008860 650 7 Women employees in literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1177627 650 7 Women in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1177912 650 7 Women employees.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1177615 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 650 7 Women.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1176568 650 7 Women.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001509 650 7 Womyn.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001516 651 7 Western Canada.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1692641 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tWorking Girls in the West.|dUniv of British Columbia Pr 2008|z9780774814560|w(OCoLC)225876212 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=383171|zOnline eBook.
