Abstract
This article analyzes the creation and implementation of mothers’ allowances in New Brunswick from 1944-1966. After exploring the ideological framework and national context of this social welfare legislation, Mothers’ Allowance Board case files are examined to highlight the agency and advocacy of women recipients as they navigated gendered and class-based challenges to claiming their rights.
