Masculinity and the Making of Trans-Canada Air Lines, 1937–1940: A Feminist Poststructuralist Account^☆

Abstract

This chapter presents a feminist poststructuralist account of the role of men and masculinity in the development of Air Canada, specifically in its early years and the development of the organization’s culture. It is argued that an understanding of the development of gendered practices (i.e., the development of male associated or dominated work) over time can help us to understand and identify how such practices develop, are maintained, and also change.
