Micheline Dumont (Verdun, 1935) is a Canadian historian, lecturer and professor. She is a specialist in the history of women in Quebec. She is particularly known as the co-author, with Marie Lavigne, Jennifer Stoddart, and Michèle Stanton, of French: L'Histoire des femmes au Québec depuis quatre siècles, the first synthesis on the subject.

Early life and education

She was born in 1935 in Verdun, a neighbourhood in Montreal.[1] As a young woman, she studied with the Sisters of Saint Anne in Vaudreuil and Lachine. A literature graduate from the Université de Montréal, she continued in history at Université Laval.

Career and research

After teaching in several Montreal colleges, she became a professor in the history department at the Université de Sherbrooke in 1970. She is one of the pioneers of women's history in Quebec.

A researcher for the Royal Commission on the Status of Women (1968),[2] she has published several historical works and articles on the status of women in contemporary times in New France. Her specialization in women's history also led her to perfect her research on women teachers and nuns in Quebec. She submitted a thesis on Quebec women and the constitutional future to the Bélanger-Campeau Commission.

She is regularly invited to various media outlets for questions concerning women's history. Dumont was a commentator for the series French: Épopée en Amérique|italics=yes by Jacques Lacoursière and Gilles Carle, as well as for the documentary French: Traître ou patriote|italics=yes by Jacques Godbout and the show L'histoire à la une by Claude Charron. In addition, Dumont has collaborated with Nadia Fahmy-Eid and the Clio Collective. Dumont retired in 1999 and received the title of professor emeritus in 2000.[3] The Micheline-Dumont fund is held by the University of Sherbrooke and contains documents relating to her career.
