What does equality mean to you? For two minutes, write down in groups of two what the term equality means to you. You will then share your definition with the rest of the group.

Activity This activity will look at the women who fought for the vote and rights in Canada. As well as the women who continue to fight for women’s rights and equality today. Photo courtesy: Diefenbaker Canada Centre

Your Task You will be separated into 5 different groups. Each group will get a package that looks at different groups of people who either: Were involved in the suffrage movement, or Are strong activists today. Your group will answer questions pertaining to that group of people. Your group will then make a newspaper article that describes a person, group, or image that was a part of the suffrage movement. End: Present your article! We will put our articles together to form a Grain Grower’s Guide.

Roles for Each Group Gathering Information from articles Note Taker Read over information package. Note Taker Take notes from the information. Writer Document what to include in your newspaper article. Drawer/Designer You will design the top corner that describes the main focus of your article.

Group 1: Propaganda This package will look at the propaganda and cartoons that either supported or were against the suffrage movement. Some questions to consider when looking at the images include: How was this important to the suffrage movement? What do these images mean? Is this for suffrage or against suffrage? How? How can this be influential on society?

Group 2: Influential Women in Saskatchewan Violet McNaughton, Zoa Haight, Annie Hollis, Lillian Beynon Thomas, Francis Beynon, Alice Lawton, and Erma Stocking. These women were involved within the Saskatchewan movement. They were critical in presenting the 10,000 signatures to the Saskatchewan government. Questions to consider: How were these women influential? What did they accomplish in Saskatchewan? Whose perspective is missing? Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan, S-B2042

Group 4: Women Activists Throughout the 20th Century Mary Two-Axe Earley She worked as an Indigenous women’s rights activist against the gender discrimination that lost Indigenous women status under the Indian Act, 1876. Her work eventually led to the passing of Bill C-31 in 1985, an amendment to the Indian Act to correct gender discrimination. Ellen Fairclough In 1958, she became the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. She served as Canada's first female Acting Prime Minister in February 1958, and she was granted the title Right Honourable by Queen Elizabeth II on 1 July 1992 for her service.
