Abstract
Using the medium of Canadian literature my capstone thesis explores the origin of the distinct Canadian philosophy. I suggest that these three authors intended this to be a dominant theme in their writing, illustrating the birth of a nation.
Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, and Carol Shields use their female characters to symbolically reel against the mother-country and all the restrictions she stood for. Their protagonists are female. Notable because while Canada is asserting its independence from the mother-country Canadian women are seeking equality and independence from their own limits of maternity. These authors seek to answer the question: is there such a thing as a Canadian philosophy. And if so. What is its origin.
This paper will present its origin as the product of Canada’s quest for dominion, a country taking agency away from its ancestral mother. Women were empowered to lead a similar path toward independence. Canadian nationalism and the Canadian women’s suffrage movement were born of the same era and followed the same course. Both factions fighting parallel paths for independence.
