Abstract
The paper is divided into two sections, which deals primarily with the work role of native women in Canada in the pre industrial period, and secondly with work done at home, to work done in the labor force, relating to payment and pensions. The paper relates that initially all women were involved in commercial activities however certain positions were reserved for men. The paper explains the division of labor among men and women and gives the reasoning behind this division and how the situation changed after the war. The factors dealing with remuneration for women is explained in detail with reasons and comparisons.
From the Paper
"During the early industrialization period, women always "earned less than 60 percent of what men earned, even when...they worked longer hours" (Wilson 60). The prevalent attitude was that older men should be responsible for skilled work. Certain jobs became the domain of men so that women could be excluded; when women performed certain work, it lost status. Eventually, female sweated labor, as a result of poor working conditions and workplace abuses, endangered male incomes (McIntosh 143). At the same time, only men's work was eased by mechanization. Factory work allowed women more free time but eventually defined life for single women (Unit 2 26). However, while men as breadwinners worked in factories, married women were confined to the home (Unit 2 28) but still earned money by such activities as baking and crafts. As industrialization proceeded, women were viewed as consumers rather than producers (Unit 2 29). Along with factory work, the main employment available to women was domestic work."

Abstract
This paper is a study of working conditions for women in Canadian factories, an important undertaking as it helps to identify the origins of economic freedom for women and to a lesser extent other minority groups such as the native Indian populations. This paper explores the rise of the industrialized factory setting and in doing so shall demonstrate that the increased need for unskilled labor created a demand for workers which in turn changed the perception of persons who were previously undesirable labor candidates into persons who were seen as a labor resource.

Abstract
This paper looks at Native American Women and focuses on the changes in life that the Europeans brought to Native American women, and the struggles that began. It further discusses the stereotypes that forever influenced these women's lives and relates how these misconceptions still affect Native American women of today.
From the Paper
"The perceptions that have historically been applied to Native American women have often been that they have always been subservient beings, abused by their husbands, who have no choice in their personal destinies (Hoxie). Throughout time various individuals have contended that Native American women were mere shadows in the existence of tribal men, and that slavery was not uncommon for them because it was an element of the world that they were born into. Yet, the research will demonstrate that these philosophies about Native American women were subjective analysis of females that were unknown to those providing critique. It will further show that beneath these suppositions existed the lives of people that historically made tremendous contributions to their cultures, and who currently are the greatest strength that continue the traditions in the Native American tribes.

Women in Canada's Labor Force: 1880-1920, 2002.

Abstract
This paper will clearly demonstrate that Canadian society between 1880 and 1920 saw significant enlargement in terms of women's gender roles, but even at the end of WWI, women's participation in the labor force was perceived to be a temporary necessity. As the wartime economy returned to its civilian form, most Canadians expected gender roles to return to their previous (im)balance. The seeds for the emancipation of women, however, had been sewn and it was only a matter of time before they would grow.

Abstract
The paper looks at the multicultural policy that is administered by the Canadian government and concludes that it is marginal. It compares the treatment of the Native People in Canada and reflects on the serious problem in economic, health, and educational disparity in comparison to the larger white population. The paper discusses how the current government enactment of racial equality is not effective, yet the government enjoys a global reputation as being racial harmonious and protecting the Native Peoples from segregation.
From the Paper
"In this study, the alarming realities of racism brought forth on the Native Peoples of Canada has been a serious issue for modern Canada. Although new efforts by the government have been brought forth to help out this racial minority, it is clear that they still suffer under white hegemony through economic and social measures. In essence, the atrocities committed against Native Peoples in relation to their economic stability, are still being committed and reinforced in modern day Canada. In the past twenty years the problem of racism in Canada has not improved for Native Peoples on an economic level."

Abstract
The paper focuses on the problems that women encounter while entering a male dominated industry. The author discusses experiences women encounter in the police force such as alienation, hostility and resentment.
From the Paper
"Barefoot and pregnant was the motto echoed throughout the nation about women prior to 1910. In this year, Alice Stebbins Wells became the first sworn female officer. Unfortunately, even though women were accepted into the policing profession, their role was a very limited one. They were concentrated in aspects that dealt with other women, children, or clerical work. I suppose that allowing them to work solely in these areas was meant to reinforce their ?motherly? side. And why not? It wasn?t considered ?ladylike? to shoot a gun or deal with issues such as alcohol or violence. Women weren?t supposed to engage in fighting or tell men what to do. These thoughts are representative of the Madonna-whore duality, where a woman is either ?a mother/wife/virtuous paragon? or ?an evil/Eve/seductress? (Epstein 186 ). Women who make attempts to be officers of the law are considered to be those evil women who have deviated from the ?norm.? It wasn?t until 1972 that amendments were made to the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, allowing women a right to an equal opportunity in their quest for a law enforcement career."

The Force of Women in Epic Literature, 2006.

Abstract
In all epic literature women are shown to be major forces in the relationship between men and between countries. The paper proves this by examining the women characters in works by Homer (Helen of Troy) and Virgil (Dido).
From the Paper
"According to theoreticians, Helen of Troy is described by Homer as an "one-dimensional" character, in the sense that Homer goes to no length in attempting to create a portrait, but leaves only a few lines. For Homer, Helen is the instrument he needs as a pretext to create the epic. For the Greek and Trojan generals, she may be just a pretext in settling political affairs. It is common knowledge that, during the period Homer is referring to, the Trojans and Greeks disputed the supremacy over the Aegean Sea and neighboring regions."

Women In The Work Force, 1989.

From the Paper
"Just 20 years ago, in most states a woman couldn't sign an apartment lease, get a credit rating, or apply for a loan unless her husband or a male relative agreed to share the responsibility. Similarly, a 1965 study found that 51 percent of men thought women were "temperamentally unfit for management" (Christopher 5). There can be no doubt that we have progressed a long way from these ideas in the last two decades. However, it is also unquestionable that women in the work force are still discriminated against, sexually harassed, paid less than men, and suffer from occupational sex segregation and fears of failure as well as fears of success. We will address all of these concerns in this paper, and look at some well-known court cases as illustrations.
Anyone who thinks sex discrimination is a thing of the past (...)"

»

Abstract
This paper explains that a native anthropologist is one who conducts research in their own society whereas a regular anthropologist conducts research in any society. The paper considers how some would argue that there should be a distinction. This paper presents the hypothesis that the distinctions between native and regular anthropology do not matter. To support this argument, the work of the following two anthropologists is considered; Vincent Crapanzano, who is considered a Native anthropologist because he is doing research in his own society and Anne Allison, an American doing research in Japan.

"Native Knowledge for Native Ecosystems", 2007.
A review of Robin Wall Kimmerer's article, "Native Knowledge for Native Ecosystems".

Abstract
This paper briefly reviews Robin Wall Kimmerer's 2000 article, "Native Knowledge for Native Ecosystems" and highlights the article's main points as well as how it approaches the broad concept of ethno-ecology. More importantly, the paper also touches upon how the article approaches the linkage of local and/or traditional knowledge of ecological systems with academic and/or scientific knowledge of those same systems. Finally, the paper discusses the significance of the aforementioned linkage as it pertains to the future of human beings in the global ecosystem.
From the Paper
"Simply put, Kimmerer's argument is that Native Americans intensively cultivated the land so that it would provide them with sufficient foodstuffs to brave the grueling winter months. While modern-day efforts to restore the ancient biological vitality and bio-diversity of the American woods and ecosystems is a laudable goal, it is not possible without also considering how the natives were able to so successfully manage the world around them. In effect, Kimmerer argues that modern-day conservationists must "heal" their relationship to the land and understand the land spiritually and emotionally as well as intellectually. Less abstractly, Kimmerer states that twenty-first century man must adopt the "site-specific" or "diachronic" knowledge which well-served Native Americans in the past and which lends itself to successful local site restoration.

Wallace Stevens and Desire: Woman Lost--Woman Ignored, 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines the "Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens", America poet. The paper shows that desire and desired denied in this work may be interpreted through the archetypal psychology of Carl Jung to disclose the reason for Stevens' preference for places over people and to explain his ambivalence toward the abstract feminine figures in his poems.
From the Paper
"Feminine archetypes reconstruct the distant attitudes in Stevens' poetry by figuring-forth embedded emotions. First, they provide an archetypal perspective on individual poems. Second, they illustrate how, ranging from Harmonium (1923) to The Rock (1954), clusters of motifs influence the poet-hero's psychic development. Although their appearances change to fit their ambiguous roles, these singular feminine figures determine the poet-hero's canon-long struggle to achieve a regulated unity of self. Two categories need to be distinguished: (a) feminine figures and (b) the interior paramour. Their protean capability makes scrupulous demarcations between exterior feminine figures impossible, but three forms or combinations prevail: the summer maiden (Kore or lover), the universal mother or earth mother, and the maiden-mother (an overlapping maid and mother figure). The interior paramour represents a climax to the poet-hero's experience with exterior feminine figures."
