The Persons Case: The Famous Five These women had to fight for their right to be considered ‘persons’. p 60, counterpoints Read and paraphrase to your partner.

Role of women in 1920s Principle role of women = wives & mothers 1921 Federal Election = 5 ran for office, 1 was elected (Agnes MacPhail) – Every thing she did was heavily scrutinized Limited Career opportunities (nursing, teaching) Low pay, low skilled jobs 1928 = Supreme Court of Canada ruled that “Women were not ‘persons’ under the Constitution”**

Persons Case of 1929** Emily Murphy (well known supported of Women’s rights) Appointed a magistrate (officer of state..or..a judge in court) This was Challenged…only a “PERSON” can hold this position under BNA Act Women were not “Persons” in eyes of Law (1928 Court decision)

Women becoming a “Person” Supreme Court of Alberta ruled…Emily Murphy HAD THE RIGHT to hold this position! (good thing for women) The movement didn’t stop!.... Murphy & 4 other women activists (“Famous Five”) appealed to Britain to make women “persons” under the law

October 1929 – British Council says: “Exclusion of women is from days much more barbaric than ours today” “Those who ask…WHY should women be included in the word “persons”….you should ask..WHY NOT?”
