520    "On August 27, 1927, five women gathered at a house on 
       Edmonton's Southside to sign a letter that would change 
       the course of Canadian history. 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.
