This Rural Canadian History Moment was created by Emma Rutledge as part of the University of Guelph Diarist course project in 2023.
The course was taught by Catharine A. Wilson, PhD, F.R.S.C. / Redelmeier Professor in Rural History / Department of History / College of Arts at the University of Guelph.
Many rural women, and the work they did, was often overlooked, many even eliminated from being counted as a person, in the Canadian Census.
