| Summary | Annotation <p>What comes to mind when we hear that a friend or colleague is studying unpublished documents in a celebrated author’s archive? We might assume that they are reading factual documents or, at the very least, straightforward accounts of the truth about someone or some event. But are they?</p><p><i>Working in Women’s Archives</i>is a collection of essays that poses this question and offers a variety of answers. Any assumption readers may have about the archive as a neutral library space or about the archival document as a simple and pure text is challenged.</p><p>In essays discussing celebrated Canadian authors such as Marian Engel and L. M. Montgomery, as well as lesser-known writers such as Constance Kerr Sissons and Marie Rose Smith, <i>Working in Women’s Archives</i>persuades us that our research methods must be revised and refined in order to create a scholarly place for a greater variety of archival subjects and to accurately represent them in current feminist and poststructuralist theories.</p> |
