Abstract
The women's movement in Canada has affected gender roles and opportunity structures for women and men. In spite of these changes, many women lead their daily lives within the context of traditional cultures that make up the Canadian mosaic. Using data from interviews conducted with women in several distinct cultural communities (Scottish, Mennonite, and Iroquois), I explore ways in which women are selectively incorporating the impact of the women's movement into everyday life. Acceptance of role equality rather than pervasive role change, and women's rights rather than full-scale women'sliberation, reflects resistance to feminism and a women's movement that often appears not to include women of color, immigrant women, Native women, and women who live in rural isolation.
