An Insurrection of Women: Deans of Women and Student Government after the Great War
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article argues that a gap emerged after the Great War between the first deans of women and their students over the meaning of self-government for academic women. Early deans believed from their own undergraduate experience that self-government provided important training for women to perform public roles, and by doing so, to attack the gendered assumption that men alone could have full undergraduate rights. By contrast, women students of the post-war years embraced a different undergraduate identity, one which assumed a greater degree of personal liberty, and their conception of self-government entailed the right to determine and monitor their own rules of conduct. By examining Manitoba, Queen’s, Victoria, Toronto’s University College, Dalhousie, and Western, this study adds to the existing literature on moral regulation by exploring how deans were able to develop a new view of student government by incorporating a progressive emphasis on the role of graduate women in participa- tory democracy. Résumé Cet article démontre qu’un fossé est apparu après la Grande Guerre entre les premières Directrices des étudiantes et leurs étudiantes sur la signification de la gouvernance autonome des femmes universitaires. En raison de leur propre expérience au premier cycle, les premières directrices croyaient que cette autonomie offrait une formation importante aux femmes aspirant à occuper des fonctions publiques, tout en contredisant l’hypothèse suggérant que seuls les hommes pouvaient jouir des pleins droits étudiants au premier cycle. En revanche, les étudiantes de l’après-guerre ont adopté une identité différente pour les étudiantes de premier cycle ; une identité reposant sur une plus grande liberté personnelle, et une conception de l’autonomie assumant le droit de déterminer et de contrôler leurs propres règles de conduite. En étudiant les universités Manitoba, Queen’s, Victoria, University College (Toronto), Dalhousie et Western, cette étude s’ajoute à la littérature existante sur la réglementation morale en explorant la manière dont les directrices ont pu développer une nouvelle vision du gouvernement étudiant en incorporant progressivement un accent sur le rôle des diplômées dans la démocratie participative.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
