520 8  In Is It Just?, the conventions of the domestic novel - 
       episodic presentation, stock characters, contrived plots, 
       and romantic conclusions - illustrate the superiority of 
       female values and argue for expanded social, political, 
       and legal rights for women. A critical introduction by 
       Jenny Roth and Lori Chambers frames Smith's specific 
       references to the laws and social geography of British 
       Columbia, situating the novel in relation to its historic 
       and literary importance. This unique work of domestic 
       literature adds to our limited library of Canadian 
       feminist writings of the first wave."--Pub. desc. 
520    "Minnie Smith's (ca. 1874-1933) feminist domestic novel, 
       Is It Just?, is a harsh critique of the injustices 
       perpetuated by male-dominated society and law. Published 
       in 1911, it tells the tragic story of Mary Pierce, who, 
       through the actions of her selfish and lazy husband, loses
       her land, her social standing, and ultimately her life.
