The Laurentian University history department is organizing a series of activities to coincide with the 14th annual Women’s History Month celebrations in October.
As in previous years, a specialist in women’s history has been invited to give a series of lectures which, this year, will be delivered for the first time entirely in French.
Johanne Daigle, professor at the department of history (Université de Laval, Québec), the historian invited for this event, will give three lectures, including a public lecture titled, An antidote to isolation? The role of health care in the Quebec hinterland settlement experience, 1932-1972. This paper will focus on nurses in Quebec in the settlement period from 1930 to 1970.
Daigle’s lecture will take place Monday, Oct. 1, 7:30 pm in the Brenda-Wallace Room at the J.N. Desmarais Library.
