Wife to Widow

Wife to Widow

Bettina Bradbury

sidottu
In Wife to Widow, award-winning historian Bettina Bradbury explores the little-studied phenomenon of the transition from wife to widowhood to offer new insights into the law, politics, demography, religion, and domestic life of early nineteenth-century Montreal.Bradbury's unique history spans the lives of two generations of Montreal women who married either before or after the Patriote rebellions of 1837-38 to reveal a picture of a city and its inhabitants across a period of profound change. Bradbury draws on a wealth of primary sources, weaving together biographies of individual women against a backdrop of the collective genealogies of over 500 , to show how women – Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish, wealthy and working-class – interacted with and shaped the city's culture, customs, and institutions, even as they laboured under the shifting conditions of patriarchy.A truly monumental study, Wife to Widow is an immensely readable, rigorous, and compelling examination of the significance of marriage and widowhood at a key moment in history.

Caroline's Dilemma

Caroline Kearney faced a heartbreaking dilemma.Caroline was a thirty-one-year-old mother of six when her husband died in Melbourne, Australia in 1865. Having no legal rights herself to the sheep station in Wimmera, Victoria that her late husband owned, she had great hopes that her sons would inherit it. But that was not to be. Her husband's will, written on his deathbed, offered a reasonable annuity to support her and the children, but it came with a catch. To get that money, Caroline had to move to Ireland with her children and live in a house of her brothers-in-law's choosing. English-born, Caroline had migrated to Australia with her family when she was only seventeen. She had never even been to Ireland. Her husband and his family – unlike her – were Catholic.This extraordinary book combines storytelling with a historian's detective work. Pieced together from evidence in archives, newspapers, genealogical sites, legal records and old-fashioned legwork, Caroline's Dilemma sheds new light on the workings of colonial gender relationships and family lives that spanned the nineteenth century globe. It reveals much about women's property rights, migration, settler colonialism, the Irish diaspora, and sectarian conflict. It shows how one middle-class woman and her family fought to shape their own lives within the British Empire.

Working Families

Working Families

Bettina Bradbury

University of Toronto Press
2007
pokkari
Working Families takes the reader onto the streets of Montreal and into the homes of its working-class families during the years that it became a major, industrial city. Between the 1860s and 1890s the expansion of wage labour changed the bases of family survival. It offered new possibilities and created new points of tension within the families of the emerging working class. Here we meet the men, youth, and children who worked for wages. We see the women who stayed home with their young, cooked and sewed, planted gardens and tended animals, stretching their often meagre family wages into goods and services for survival. We also see the ingenuity and agony of women whose husbands lost their jobs, fell ill, drank up their wages, deserted their families, or died. Working Families explores the complex variety of responses of working-class families to their new lives within industrial capitalist society, and offers new ways of looking at the industrial revolution in Canada.

Caroline Kearney’s husband bequeathed her a heart-breaking dilemma. Writing his will as he lay dying in Melbourne in 1865, Edward Kearney promised his wife £100 a year and more to educate their sons, but only if she moved to Ireland with their six children and lived in a house that her brothers-in-law would choose and furnish. Caroline (née Bax) had never been to Ireland. Edward had left as a young man. Why were these his final wishes?How did this young widow respond to such a draconian exercise of male power from the grave? Could a husband legally force his widow to migrate against her wishes? Caroline’s Dilemma follows Caroline and Edward’s migration histories from Britain and Ireland to Australia, their marriage, and their experiences running sheep stations on Aboriginal land in South Australia and Victoria. Caroline did not want to leave Australia, leaving her own parents and siblings behind. She contested his will in the courts and struggled against the growing influence of his Irish Catholic family. Feisty, determined and sometimes devious, she drew on the support of her family, drink and his estate to try to shape her future and that of her children.This extraordinary book combines story telling with an historian’s detective work required to bring it to light. Pieced together from evidence in archives, newspapers, genealogical sites and legal records, this book sheds new light on the workings of nineteenth-century gender and male power, family lives that span imperial sites, inheritance, migration, settler colonialism, the Irish diaspora and sectarian conflict. It shows how one middle-class woman and her family fought to shape their own lives within the British Empire and its colonies.

Bettina

APERTURE
2022
sidottu
Bettina is the first monograph to showcase the work of the previously unsung artist Bettina Grossman, whose wildly interdisciplinary practice spanned photography, sculpture, textile, cinema, drawing, and more.An eccentric personality fully dedicated to her art, Bettina lived in the famous Chelsea Hotel from 1968 until her death in late 2021. In her tiny studio, she produced and accumulated a considerable body of work, much of which has remained unseen and unpublished until now. Her interests ranged from geometric and abstract studies, drawn from observations of people on the street, to pieces that transformed language into graphic, abstract “verbal forms.” Incorporating strategies of chance and the abstraction of everyday form through repetition and seriality, Bettina pushed the photographic medium to and beyond its limits. As Robert Blackburn, artist and founder of the Printmaking Workshop, astutely observed of Bettina’s work: “The photography, film, sculpture are as one, for the photographic medium is employed not only for documentation but as an endless source of inspiration from which other disciplines emerge—and merge.” Bettina was the winner of the Luma Rencontres Dummy Book Award Arles 2020 and is copublished by Aperture and Éditions Xavier Barral.

Bettina Hubby: Uniforms

Bettina Hubby: Uniforms

The Ice Plant
2014
pokkari
Los Angeles artist Bettina Hubby (born 1968) takes a detour from her curatorial, community-based projects with Uniforms, an artist’s book of paper collages as precise and elegant as they are chaotic and devious. Here, clothed bodies collide, recombine and somersault across the page; machines mimic birds; jackets seem to genuflect in prayer. Constructed with the muted hues and contemplative negative space of a Noh play, Hubby’s mash-ups reassemble the familiar photographic imagery of fashion, commerce and reportage into a open-ended riff on personal identity and the human organism. Complementing the work is an original fictional narrative by Dave Cull, delivered in brief installments throughout the book. Uniforms is published in an edition of 750 copies on the occasion of Pretty Limber, Hubby’s fall 2013 exhibition at Klowden Mann Gallery.

Bettina Bee and the Expedition to Seek Big Treasure

Bettina Bee and the Expedition to Seek Big Treasure

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

The melipone bee and the vanilla orchid plant hailed from the heart of the tropical rainforests of Mesoam rica. Over time, they evolved along-side each other because the melipone bee was tiny enough to pollinate the vanilla orchid flower. The only other insect that could possibly pollinate the vanilla orchid was a gnat-like fly called the midge. This story is about a melipone bee named Bettina Bee who was from the Cocoa Stand-where Bees and Flies lived in harmony, had adventures, and searched for nectar that was called Treasure. Nectar from the Vanilla orchid was called Big Treasure because it was valued more than any jewel or gold that a king or queen could find anywhere. More than anything, Bettina Bee wanted to discover Big Treasure. So, she led a secret expedition with her best friend, Midge Fly, into the Jungle-never thinking about how dangerous that would be. Maybe she would have been better off staying at home. You can be the judge of that because she had adventures and encounters, but also made a discovery-just not in the way that you and I might think.
