| dc.description | This thesis examines the ways in which "gender ideals" affected men and women in Richmond Heights during the 1920s. Richmond Heights was a respectable working-class neighbourhood in Halifax, Nova Scotia built after the 1917 explosion by the Halifax Relief Commission. | en_US |
| dc.description | Throughout the thesis, neighbourhood men and women are examined in terms of age and marital status. Importance is placed on how domesticity, gender ideologies, and occupational change shaped the ways in which manliness and femininity were perceived. Gender ideals could embody both change and continuity. But traditional working-class culture, which continued to be removed from the household and reflect a male world view, had great difficulty absorbing the new ideals. | en_US |
