 | | To investigate and understand how working-class families survived the Depression, Baillargeon interviewed thirty French Canadian, and therefore Catholic, women who were married, housewives, and residents of working-class districts in Montreal in the years between 1929 and 1939. |
 | | By placing the 1930s within the context of the women's lives and life cycles, Baillargeon concludes that "the Great Depression did not have a particularly catastrophic effect on their work in the home, or on their standard of living" (168). |
 | | According to Baillargeon, a unique contribution to Canadian studies of the Depression is her discovery that family planning and family networks were among the important strategies utilized by the women she interviewed. |
