Description

The achievement of the vote in 1918 is often celebrated as a triumphant moment in the onward, upward advancement of Canadian women. Acclaimed historian Joan Sangster looks beyond the shiny rhetoric of anniversary celebrations to show that the struggle for equality included gains and losses, inclusions and exclusions, depending on a woman's race, class, and location in the nation. Beginning with Mary Shadd Cary's demands for rights for women and blacks in the 1850s and ending with Indigenous women's achievement of the vote in the 1960s, Sangster travels back in time to tell a new, more inclusive story for a new generation.
