概要	This paper explores Munro's view of female professions through the interpretation of the short story "Amundsen." In the story, Vivien, a teacher and the protagonist, and nurses appear as a subordinate labor force for Alister, a physician. In Canada, the professions of nurse and teacher are considered to be closely related to care and child raising and thus are regarded as suitable for women because of women's innate maternal abilities. Nurses are particularly respected in Canada for their selfless care of men serving in the military forces and patients during World War I and the Spanish flu epidemic. However, Munro's nurses are indifferent with regard to care. Their indifference is caused by strict patriarchal systems at the hospitals and Munro’s own experience. (B5)
