This Bridge Called Women’s Stories: Private Lore and Public History

This article traces the achievements and remaining challenges of the project, begun some four decades ago, to integrate women’s experience into “mainstream” history. The author uses her own experience as a women’s historian as well as an analysis of how women have been included in six recent history survey texts (two Canadian, two U.S., two American West). Considerable progress has been made in including women; however, the categories of analysis used in state-centred histories limit the terms of their inclusion. The progress to date also suggests strategies for expanding women’s inclusion, and incorporating gender as a central category of human historical experience.Cet article trace les réalisations et les défis qui restent à relever dans le cadre du projet amorcé il y a quatre décennies visant à intégrer l’expérience des femmes dans l’histoire « conventionnelle ». L’auteur utilise sa propre expérience en tant qu’historienne ainsi qu’une analyse de la façon dont les femmes ont été incluses dans six sondages de l’histoire récente (deux canadiens, deux américains, deux de l’ouest américain). Des progrès considérables ont été réalisés dans l’inclusion des femmes; toutefois, les catégories d’analyse utilisées dans les histoires axées sur l’État limitent les conditions de leur inclusion. Les progrès à ce jour suggèrent également des stratégies permettant d’accroître l’inclusion des femmes ainsi que l’incorporation du genre comme catégorie centrale de l’histoire de l’expérience humaine

One Step Over the Line: Toward a History of Women in the North American Wests

This eclectic and carefully organized range of essays—from women’s history and settler societies to colonialism and borderlands studies—is the first collection of comparative and transnational work on women in the Canadian and U.S. Wests. It explores, expands, and advances the aspects of women's history that cross national borders. Out of the talks presented at the 2002 “Unsettled Pasts: Reconceiving the West through Women’s History,” Elizabeth Jameson and Sheila McManus have edited a foundational text with a wide, inclusive perspective on our western past

Women on the Margins of Imperial Plots: Farming on Borrowed Land

Rather than provide a detailed discussion of the findings of Carter’s Imperial Plots, this essay explores the lives of three women at the edges of the processes Carter outlines to illustrate the widespread influence of the narrowing of women’s roles and how women resisted and adapted. Our portraits of Maxi’diwiac (Hidatsa), Nancy Arcand (Metis), and Frances Zatylny (Ukrainian-Canadian) show how their agricultural practices (and their lives more generally) were confined by colonialism, while farming became their major site of resistance. Carter’s detailed descriptions of the racialized and gendered spaces on the prairies uncovers the mechanism of colonialism and helps us understand how cultural, social, economic, and political forces shaped the structures in which these women could operate. Despite these women’s deep ties to and labour on their farms, they could not maintain ownership of them.Plutôt que de discuter en détail des découvertes exposées par Carter dans Imperial Plots, cet essai se penche sur les vies de trois femmes vivant en marge des processus soulignés par Carter pour illustrer comment s’est exercée l’influence de la réduction du rôle des femmes et la façon dont les femmes ont résisté à cela et s’y sont adaptées. Les portraits que nous faisons de Maxi’diwiac (hidatsa), Nancy Arcand (métisse) et Frances Zatylny (ukrainienne-canadienne) montrent que si leurs pratiques agricoles (et leur vie en règle générale) se déroulaient dans les limites étroites imposées par le colonialisme, leur ferme était devenue leur principal lieu de résistance. Les descriptions détaillées que fait Carter des espaces racisés et genrés de la Prairie dévoilent le mécanisme du colonialisme et nous aident à comprendre comment les forces culturelles, sociales, économiques et politiques ont façonné les structures dans lesquelles pouvaient agir ces femmes. Mais bien que ces femmes aient entretenu des liens profonds avec leur terre par leur travail, elles n’ont pas pu en conserver la propriété

Carma CO observations of three extremely metal-poor, star-forming galaxies

We present sensitive CO (J = 1 0) emission line observations of the three metal-poor dwarf irregular galaxies Leo P (Z ∼ 3% Zo), Sextans A (Z ∼ 7.5% Zo), and Sextans B (Z ∼ 7.5% Zo), all obtained with the Combined Array for Millimeter-wave Astronomy interferometer. While no CO emission was detected, the proximity of the three systems allows us to place very stringent (4σ) upper limits on the CO luminosity (LCO) in these metal-poor galaxies. We find the CO luminosities to be LCO < 2900 K km s-1 pc2 for Leo P, LCO < 12,400 K km s-1 pc2 for Sextans A, and LCO < 9700 K km s-1 pc2 for Sextans B. Comparison of our results with recent observational estimates of the factor for converting between LCO and the mass of molecular hydrogen, as well as theoretical models, provides further evidence that either the CO-to-H2 conversion factor increases sharply as metallicity decreases, or that stars are forming in these three galaxies very efficiently, requiring little molecular hydroge

Revised Regional Action Plan for the Conservation of the Cross River Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) 2014–2019

This plan outlines measures that should ensure that Cross River gorilla numbers are able to increase at key core sites, allowing them to extend into areas where they have been absent for many years
