| Summary: | This study investigates the connections between nineteenth-century pioneer women in Canada and their putative twentieth-century biographers in Anglo-Canadian women's fiction by Carol Shields ( Small Ceremonies, 1976 ), Daphne Marlatt ( Ana Historic, 1988 ), and Susan Swan ( The Biggest Modern Woman of the World, 1983 ). These three texts reveal definite problems in the formation of Canadian female identities, but they also revalorise the traditionally underprivileged halves of binary structures such as: female/male, other/self, body/intellect, subjectivity/objectivity, and Canada/imperial centres. |
