My favourite part of Canadian History is remembering and studying past events in order to influence the present and future in a positive way
I chose this question because 2016 marks the one hundredth anniversary of enfranchisement for women in the prairies — a notable milestone.
I enjoy reading 19th and 20th century literature; I always find the societal differences between present day and those eras to be striking.
I chose this question as I have always been passionate about women's rights but have never known how women got to where they are today.
As a Brit, I have always been interested in the suffragettes, and researching the movement from the Canadian point of view was fascinating.
I chose this question as I wanted to retrace the steps of how women in Canada first gained the right to vote.
