Abstract

Urgent! Thousands of nice girls are wanted in the Canadian West! Despite the popular view that anything in skirts stood a chance, the Canadian government's campaign to attract British female emigrants between 1880 and 1914 posed barriers of class, education, an d training. Period documents suggest that the government achieved its greatest impact through a strategy that stimulated the efforts of businesses and British societies with similar interests in Canadian settlement.
