Those women were Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, Irene Parlby, and Henrietta Muir Edwards, who would become known as the Famous Five. The meeting of the women had been prompted by Emily Murphy, an Alberta magistrate, whose right to render judgements had been challenged by a lawyer who maintained that only men could be appointed as judges because only men were considered "persons" under the British North America Act. The battle for justice that began that Saturday afternoon on took several years and many miles, finally making its way to the Privy Council in London. Finally, in 1929, a landmark ruling found that women were indeed "persons" in the eyes of the law. But who were these women and how did they come together at such a pivotal moment in Canadian history? The Famous Five is a comprehensive look at the remarkable lives, prolific careers, sometimes disturbing contradictions, and extraordinary achievements of these five women who fought for equality at a time when women were barely recognized as relevant."==|cProvided by publisher. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Feminists|zCanada|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009124219 650 0 Women|xLegal status, laws, etc.|zCanada|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010119095|xHistory. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Women's rights|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2010118805|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 5 Famous Five (Canadian women's rights activists) 650 7 Feminists.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/922831 650 7 Women|xLegal status, laws, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1176824 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Women's rights.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1178818 650 7 Feminists.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/ homoit0000439 650 7 Women.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001509 650 7 Womyn.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001516 651 7 Canada.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204310 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSmith, Barbara, 1947 April 19-|tFamous Five.|dVictoria ; Vancouver ; Calgary : Heritage House Publishing, 2019|z1772032336|z9781772032338 |w(OCoLC)982900621 830 0 Amazing stories (Surrey, B.C.)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2009147636 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1588330|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
