There was a time in Canadian history when women were treated as inferior compared to men. They were denied from many rights as human beings; they weren't allowed to vote, to be paid equally as men, to be called persons, to divorce their husband, to work after marriage, to be treated with respects, and etc.
As a result, Canadian Women during 1910 to 1930 pushed hard for social reform with a sole intention to gain respects and rights for women all across North America. Soon after that, many organizations comprised of Canadian women from all across Canada were formed and the long struggle for Women's right began.
They fought in the Women's Rights Movement, the Temperance Movement, the Suffrage Movement, and so on. Given that their efforts brought them sweet victories when the Federal Parliament finally allowed women to vote in Federal and Provincial elections and etc, do you think that the Women's Movement during 1910-1930 was successful? I mean after all, the great depression from 1929-1939 stopped them from being active until 1960.
