Champions
of Women's Rights; Leading Canadian women and their battles
for social justice
by Moushumi Chakrabarty
James
Lorimer, 2011.
ISBN 1-55277-727-8 pbk.
128 pages
The stories of Canadian women who challenged
the establishment and paved the way for greater equality
are compelling. From the mid-1800s to the 1920s, when
women had few civil rights in Canada, pioneering women
activists made their presence strongly felt in political
life and achieved important early gains. There were the
Famous Five, now honoured with a statue on Parliament
Hill, agitating for the vote for women, but there were
many others. In the fields of politics, medicine, agriculture,
trade unions. and education, women like Lea Roback, Charlotte
Whitton, Anna Leonowens, and Emily Stowe showed everyone
that it was no longer a man's world. Their stories are
told in this lively book.
