No Place Like Home: Diaries and Letters of Nova Scotia Women 1771-1938, is a book of a compilation of diaries and letters providing an insight into the lives of Nova Scotia women. This essay looks at the relationship between family and religion in the lives of these women.

However, this also places most of them in a double bind; they can see both sides of a situation but this ultimately leads to an internal conflict that they must resolve.

Word Count: 4,000 Throughout history in America and Britain women have remained in the domestic sphere that were designated to them by patriarchal ideologies of gender construction where they were viewed as not individuals within their own right but as an extension of their husbands (Freeman, 1973).
