The complete-coverage census microdata for 1881 make it possible to explore possible associations between characteristics of 192 districts and the feminization of teaching in those districts. The hypothesis that an available pool of immigrant men delayed the feminization of teaching in parts of rural Ontario receives support at the national level. The economic structure of districts does not appear to be associated with the feminization of teaching. The feminization of teaching is associated with districts having relatively large proportions of French Canadian Catholics and English Anglicans. The size of the school system, as measured by teachers per capita, is negatively associated with marital fertility. There is evidence that the status of women teachers had improved by the end of the century, although the reactions of individual teachers were ambiguous and conflicted. In Ontario the earnings of women teachers increased steadily in real terms. Women were being drawn into an occupation in which they were subordinates in a hierarchy of gender and income, but their movement into teaching was also a movement toward material independence, intellectual self-realization, and social respectability. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Canadian Historical Review is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
