This study examines early Ontario social work history by documenting the lives of four women who contributed to the history of Ontario social work some of whom have largely been forgotten. While social work remains a female-dominated profession, both currently and historically, few historical studies have addressed this. This study attempts to equalize the views and voices of social workers by including select women who were active in the field illuminating and identifying some of the contributions of women to the debates which characterized early social work in Ontario. This study selected two women from the radical tradition with socialist/communist affiliations and as counterpoint two figures who were members of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire and who represent a conservative value system based in the tradition of British imperialism. Three guiding research questions for the study are 1) what conditions organizations and practices shaped and positioned social work as a profession in its formative years 2) how were the significant debates/discursive trajectories reflected in the organizational settings of early social work? 3) How were these ideas implicated in their practice? Did these women speak through the organizations they led or participated in? How did they contribute to the production of or alternative positions to, the competing epistemes of the time? This research provides an original contribution by elaborating a history of ideas in social work through the prism of organizational practice and key formative figures. By adopting this dual focus, I capture individual agency in life history but also the cultural shift of discourse and regimes of truth, not only within individual lives but also as a myriad of intersecting overlapping discursive (ideas) and material (practices) occurrences.
