The definition of Women’s Work has evolved over time. Once, it defined any work historically undertaken by women, especially domestic tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and child rearing. As we enter a new decade of the 21st-century and gender roles continue to shift and grow, we understand that women’s work is a much more complex, all-encompassing term that defines all work that women do, both paid and unpaid.

By weaving together a collection of Niagara Falls stories, this exhibition seeks to celebrate the diversity of women’s roles within the labour force. It highlights not only the success of women in traditional roles, like teaching and nursing, but also showcases the strong contributions carved out by female leaders in our community as artists, broadcasters, activists, historians, managers, and politicians.

Check out this wonderful exhibition developed by the Museum team.

FROM WELLINGTON SQUARE, WITH AFFECTION: AN ANALYSIS OF THE SMITH AND CHISHOLM LETTERS

May 26, 2022 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

This presentation is an elaboration of a blog written for the Champlain Society that focused on a single letter written by Hannah Smith to her husband in December 1837. This letter is part of a larger collection of documents that comprise the Smith and Chisholm family letters collection currently housed in the Niagara Falls Museums. This presentation will examine this collection of letters and discuss what they further reveal about the Upper Canada Rebellion on the Niagara frontier and in Wellington Square.  

Dr. Brian de Ruiter is an adjunct professor in the Centre for Canadian Studies at Brock University specializing in Niagara region borderland studies.
