Suffrage: Canadian Women and the Vote
Written by Susan Hughes
Illustrated by Meags Fitzgerald
For decades, only men could cast ballots in elections. Any wages earned by women had to go to their husbands. And of course, most women could not own property. After suffering for years in silence, women began to fight for social reform. Suffragists rose up. They wanted to create change. This book brings to life the tireless efforts of trailblazing individuals who paved the way for women’s Suffrage in Canada. Read about the epic struggles, the years of hard work, perseverance, and the prejudice women faced fighting for the most basic, democratic right—to vote.
