The fourth edition of Rethinking Canada is representative of the most interesting work done in Canadian and women's history. Including sixteen new essays, this volume boasts the strongest English collection in terms of women and Quebec history and the history of First Nations Peoples. In addition, there are articles on Japanese picture brides, Mennonite refugee women and migrant workers, civilian women during the Second World War, women in northern Canada, and lesbian women in Chatelaine magazine. Recent additions to the text also address the significance of globalization for women's international politics. The editors have carefully balanced the considerations of region, class, and ethnicity, as well as, time period to achieve a collection that covers the broadest possible sweep of Canadian history.
