The enfranchisement of women in 1916 was a ground-breaking event. It was certainly attributed to the persistent personalities’ and commitment of the suffragists, changing attitudes in the Western provinces, and the passion to bring about social change. These crusaders were not only securing a better, brighter future for themselves, but for their daughters, granddaughters, and many more generations of women to come. This was a principal step towards gender equality—and the push for women’s suffrage was the realization of that vision.
