Book Title: Guiding Girls: Girlhood, Empire, and Internationalism in the 1920s and 1930s
Guiding Modern Girls adds new depth to what are largely separate understandings of interwar girlhood, British imperialism, and internationalism. By analyzing the Guides as a worldwide organization whose early twentieth-century leaders sought to create a conservatively modern ideal of gender, class, age, and race relations, this book also reveals how girls and young women understood, reworked, and sometimes challenged the expectations placed on them by the world’s largest voluntary organization for girls. https://www.ubcpress.ca/guiding-modern-girls

Book Title: Vatican II and Beyond: The Changing Mission and Identity of Canadian Women Religious
A look at the impact of Vatican II through the Canadian Religious Conference and the lived experience of Sisters Alice Trudeau and Mary Alban.
Following women religious as they encountered new meanings of faith in their congregations, the Church, and society at large, Vatican II and Beyond demonstrates that the search for a renewed vision was not just a response to secularization, but a way to be reborn as Catholic women. http://www.mqup.ca/vatican-ii-and-beyond-products-9780773551480.php
