Vie Et Mort Du Couple En Nouvelle-France pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Popular belief and a particular conception of colonial history holds that women in New France had more opportunity to act in society. Josette Brun's analysis of married life and widowhood in eighteenth-century Quebec City and Louisbourg reveals another reality. Brun considers the division of rights and responsibilities between spouses, issues of morality and succession surrounding second marriages, strategies of economic survival, family support systems, and aid policies toward widowed individuals. She argues that husbands were 'lords and masters' at home, a position legitimized by the state and the law, and officially assumed responsibility for dealing with succession and work.Following the death of their husbands, widows exploited a range of possible female roles, their professional experience, or a generous dower - assuming responsibility alone or with the help of their sons, sons-in-law, or nephews. Widowed men, on the other hand, who were parents of young children and limited by the rules of masculinity, remarried or sought assistance from their servants, mothers, sisters, or female friends. In "Vie et mort du couple en Nouvelle-France", Brun locates the weeping widow, an object of compassion, at the heart of a power struggle between colonial and royal authorities.
