Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This review article considers the contribution that monographs and collections of articles published by feminist scholars during the 1990s make to family history in Canada. Feminist historians have successfully exposed the workings of class, gender, and ethnicity in a range of Canadian towns and cities. They have begun to chart the relationships between families and other institutions—most notably religion, leisure, and the law. Recent works contribute to a much clearer understanding of the ways experts and the state have worked to shape families and especially motherhood in Canada and to the discursive role of the white wife and mother in the racial politics of the settlement of the West. And recent work has laid the groundwork for a better understanding of the regulatory discourses around gender, sexuality, and heterosexuality especially in Canada’s most studied province, Ontario.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
