Throughout the 1920s, women gained many new rights and spent less time inside the house. The 1920s for women consisted of famous female politicians, new looks, technology, and habits.
Famous Female Politicians
Some famous political women in the 1920s consisted of Emily murphy, Agnes Mcphail, Cairine Wilson, and Nelly McClung. Although many women of different provinces had already gained the right to vote by 1919, women were still not allowed to participate in politics. It turned out that the reason was that women were still not considered as persons by law. This resulted in Emily Murphy and four other women asking the Supreme Court for women to be persons by law. Unfortunately, the Canadian Supreme Court decision was no.This eventually led to the women addressing the British Privy Council about the issue, since the Canadian Supreme Court was under the British Privy Council. Lord Chancellor John Sankey stated on October 18. 1929 that there was no reason why women could not be persons.
