On the eve of celebrating the 100th anniversary of women's right to vote in Canada comes a book, the first in a series on women's suffrage and the struggle for democracy, by acclaimed historian Joan Sangster. The achievement of the vote in 1918 is often presented as a triumphant moment in the onward, upward advancement of Canadian women. In this beautifully illustrated book, acclaimed historian Joan Sangster looks beyond the shiny rhetoric of anniversary celebrations and Heritage Minutes to show that the struggle for equality included gains and losses, inclusions and exclusions, depending on a woman's race, class, and location in the nation. Beginning with Mary Shadd Cary's demands for equal rights for women and blacks in the 1850s and ending with Indigenous women's achievement of the vote in the 1960s, Sangster travels back in time to tell a new, more inclusive story for a new generation. The history of the vote, as Joan Sangster tells it, offers vital insights into our political life, exposing not only the fissures of inequality that cut deep into our country's past but also their weaknesses in the face of resistance, optimism, and protest - an inspiring legacy that still resonates to this day.
