Are women persons too? If you were female and living in Canada before 1930, you wouldn't think that was such a silly question. It all started when a group of women was turned away from an Alberta court trial because the subject matter was deemed inappropriate for mixed company. One of the women, Emily Murphy, discovered that a law in the British North America Act declared that Canadian women were "not persons in matters of rights and privileges" and thus could not be judges or run for political office. Murphy and four others, later to be known as the Famous Five, put forth a petition that called the law into question. On this date in 1929, in the historic Persons Case, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council decided that women could be defined as persons for political purposes.
Je comprends maintenant pourquoi les canadiennes sont si attachees a leurs relisations de leur "combat feministe"
