    “Has Any Great Harm Been Done?” Canadian Women Breaking Barriers During the First World War

    No full text
    This article follows the journey of Maude Blake Holton, likely the first Canadian woman sergeant, as well as 20 Canadian nurses who trained and worked as anaesthetists overseas during the First World War. These stories bring to light the significant and little-known contributions made by a group of Canadian women who broke gender and professional barriers during the war. Maude Blake Holton’s status was deemed irregular and contested by the Canadian military authorities after the war while the employment of nurse-anaesthetists was officially approved in 1918. Although emphasizing gender-based barriers, this article reveals that some of the officers and men overseas valued saving lives and standards of care over conventional gender roles. It also shows how far military leaders and government officials were willing to go to minimize the extent of these women’s contributions and to restore the status quo ante bellum.Cet article suit le parcours de Maude Blake Holton, qui fut vraisemblablement la première femme sergent au Canada, ainsi que celui de 20 infirmières canadiennes qui ont été formées et qui ont servi comme anesthésistes outre-mer pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Ces histoires mettent en lumière les contributions considérables et méconnues de Canadiennes qui ont franchi des barrières professionnelles et liées au genre pendant la guerre. Le statut de Maude Blake Holton a été jugé irrégulier et contesté par les autorités militaires canadiennes après la guerre, alors que l’emploi d’infirmières-anesthésistes a officiellement été approuvé en 1918. Tout en mettant l’accent sur les obstacles liés au genre, cet article montre toutefois que certains officiers et militaires en poste à l’étranger accordaient plus d’importance à sauver des vies et à la qualité des soins qu’aux rôles genrés conventionnels. Il révèle également les limites que les dirigeants militaires et les responsables gouvernementaux étaient prêts à franchir pour minimiser la portée de la contribution de ces femmes et rétablir le statu quo ante bellum
