Abstract
This article considers four different ways in which gender relations figured in tax matters and their connection to citizenship between 1914 and the mid-1950s. Topics covered include interventions in tax debates, tax evasion in working-class work, taxation and women’s voting rights, and women’s response to the introduction of mass income tax in 1942. The general conclusion that follows from these narratives is that gender norms and the diverse organization of families were implicated in the relations of extraction (i.e., the complex web of connections between taxation practices and the various rights and obligations of citizenship). Résumé Cet article examine quatre façons dont les rapports hommes-femmes apparaissent dans les questions fiscales et leur lien avec la citoyenneté entre 1914 et le milieu des années 1950. Les sujets traités comprennent les interventions dans les débats fiscaux, l’évasion fiscale dans le travail ouvrier, la taxation et le droit de vote des femmes, et la réponse des femmes à l’introduction généralisée de l’impôt sur le revenu en 1942. La conclusion générale qui découle de l’exposé de ces faits est que les normes sexuelles et l’organisation diverse des familles avaient une incidence dans les relations d’extraction (c.-à-d., le réseau complexe de liens entre les pratiques fiscales et les divers droits et obligations de la citoyenneté).Copyright for articles published in this journal is retained by the author(s), with Acadiensis being granted a non-exclusive licence to each and every right in the work throughout the world.
