Classroom Learning - The Famous Five
We learned that the Famous Five was a group of five women who helped women vote and have rights in Canada, and become a "person" under the law. The Famous Five were Nellie McClung, Emily Murphy, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney, and Henrietta Muir Edwards. Before this, if there was a divorce the husband owned the property and the kids, as well as the money. Women were not allowed to vote, and they didn't have many rights. They could not have certain jobs or careers which were considered only for men. They were not allowed to play certain sports.
Today we worked with placemats to learn about the Famous Five, and order them based upon their impact and importance to women and Canada. Discuss with your family how you would rank these women from 1-5, and why.
