Bettina Bradbury teaches women’s studies and gender history at York University, and is the author of many articles on the history of families and widowhood. Her book, Working Families: Age, Gender and Daily Survival in Industrializing Montreal (McClelland and Stewart, 1993), received both the John A. Macdonald prize for the best book in Canadian history published in 1993, and the Harold A. Innis prize for the most outstanding book published with an Aid to Scholarly Publications Grant in English that year. Professor Bradbury is currently completing a manuscript entitled Wife to Widow: 19th Century Lives, Laws and Politics which explores legal, political, and personal aspects of marriage and widowhood in Montreal. Current research projects involve comparative studies of marriage in the British Empire.
