“Many New Brunswick women did not fit into the classic picture of the woman at home with her children. From the province's inception, there had always been women who worked outside the home and from the late 19th century onward their numbers began increasing as women filled the ranks of the teaching and nursing professions, continued as domestics, entered factory jobs, became telephone and telegraph operators, dressmakers and milliners and opened small businesses..…and more." (Elispeth Tulloch, We The Undersigned, p.36.) This exhibit shows some New Brunswick women who did not fit the stereotype.
