Colonial Girlhood in Literature, Culture and History, 1840–1950

Abstract

The conference and symposium on Colonial Girlhood/Colonial Girls that provided the beginning of the conversation that culminates in this book were supported by the University of Melbourne, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and Clare Bradford. Without their generous assistance we would not have been able to complete this project. We would also like to recognise the contribution of the Australian Research Council, who funded our Discovery project ‘From Colonial to Modern: Transnational Girlhood in Australian, Canadian and New Zealand Print Cultures, 1840–1940’ from 2011 to 2013. The University of Alberta provided welcome and timely assistance in the form of a Grant Notley Postdoctoral Fellowship to further our research on Canadian girls’ print culture.
