Creative Challenge 278: Every picture tells a story

The famous five statutes on Canada's Parliament Hill, Ottawa

The famous five were: Henrietta Muir Edwards-a founding member of the Victorian Order of Nurses, Nellie Mooney McClung-suffragist, author, and member of the Alberta Legislature, Louise Crummy McKinney-first woman to be elected in the Alberta Legislature, or any Legislature in Canada, or in the British Empire, Emily Murphy-first female judge in the British Empire, Irene Marryat Parlby-first female Cabinet Minister in Alberta. They initiated 'the famous persons case' and won, meaning that women were then allowed to vote when, on October 18,1929, the British Judicial Committee of the Privy Council reversed Canada's Supreme Court decision. This also bolstered women's rights in Canada. Check out the other entries here.
