I’m thankful to those before me who fought for women’s rights…
AND I’m painfully aware that the women Emily Murphy thought should have rights didn’t look like me.
Asian women couldn’t vote until 1948.
Indigenous women couldn’t vote until 1960.

There’s a statue on Parliament Hill celebrating the 1929 Persons Case. What often gets left out: it didn’t reach Indigenous and Asian women for decades after. Our latest carousel traces that history to today’s organizers.

Today is Persons Day in Canada. It's the day when women were finally included in the legal definition of “persons”. Before that, women weren't people in the eyes of the law or government. It's the basis for our equality. It's something that doesn't exist in the US by the way.
