Women in Canada finally got the right to vote in federal elections in 1918 after years of fighting for it. It was a huge deal becuase it showed that womens voices mattered just as much as mens. It was one of the first big steps for gender equality in Canada. -
This case was about if women could be called “persons” under the law. The Famous Five fought for this and won, lettigng women be appointed to the Senate. It proved women deserved the same legal rights as men, even though it took a long time. -
The Bill of Rights was made to protect basic freedoms like religion, speech and equality. Prime Minister John Diefenbaker created it, but it wasn’t part of the Constitution so it didn’t have as much power. Still, it was a big step forward for human rights in Canada.
