- Abstract
THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES the social and political involvement of a group of working class housewives during the 20th century. The Canadian locals of the Auxiliary League of the International Association of Machinists, from their formation in 1905 through to the 1930s, promoted family-oriented activities as being at the heart of the workers' and trade union movement, offering members an important locus both for education and political action. After World War II, however, although members of the League continued to be publicly involved in their communities, their expressions of a sense of belonging to the workers' and trade union movement were clearly more ambiguous. The evolution of the League is examined in the light of structural changes which affected the trade union movement during the 1920s and 1930s.
