Public Policy for Women
Containing essays from leading feminist academics, and social activists, Public Policy for Women addresses important public policy issues that fail to address women's needs. The volume's contributors pay particular attention to the relationship between the welfare state and vulnerable populations of women, while making substantial contributions to current public policy debates in Canada. Focusing on discussions of controversial issues such as single working mothers, prostitution, mandatory retirement, guaranteed income, and work for welfare, these essays also consider the political and economic constraints that have been brought about by neo-liberal policy changes. Full of relevant policy critiques and original recommendations for improvement, Public Policy for Women readdresses often neglected subjects and concerns and makes informative appeals for public policy to address women's needs.
Dictionary of French Family Names in North America
This dictionary contains data not only on the origins of French surnames in Québec and Acadia, a great many of which eventually spread to many parts of North America, but also on those which arrived in the United States directly from various French-speaking European and Caribbean countries. In addition to providing the etymology of the original surnames, it also lists the multifarious variants that have developed over the last four centuries. A unique feature of this work in comparison to other onomastics dictionaries is the inclusion of genealogical information on most of the Francophone migrants to this continent, something which has been rendered possible not only by the excellent record-keeping in French Canada since the very beginnings of the colony, but also through the explosion of such data on the internet in the last couple of decades. In sum, this dictionary serves the dual purpose of providing information on the meanings of French family names on the North American continent, as well as on the migrants who brought them there.

Gabriel, l’un de ses descendants, a consacré plusieurs années de sa vie à retracer celle du lointain aïeul. Quant à Pierre-Antoine, son petit-fils, il découvre un cahier relatant l’histoire du pionnier. À un moment du récit, l’auteur hésite, ne sait plus comment poursuivre... C’est que le fantôme du pionnier, réveillé par les siens à Pioussay, a décidé de prendre la relève, afin que Pierre-Antoine comprenne son histoire familiale. C’est en respectant l’abécédaire ébauché par Gabriel, qu’il convoque ses souvenirs, de l’île ...
