- Description
- The achievement of the vote in 1918 is often celebrated as a triumphant moment in the onward, upward advancement of Canadian women. In this book the author shows that the struggle for equality included gains and losses, inclusions and exclusions, depending on a woman’s race, class, and location within the nation. It tells a more inclusive story and exposes fissures of inequality as well as their weaknesses in the face of resistance, optimism and protest.
