The Woman Suffrage Movement in Canada (Second Edition) - Cleverdon, Catherine L.

Clean, tight, unmarked; age tanned; light sunning to spine; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; The first edition of this book was written in 1950. Cleverdon deals with the struggle for the suffrage in each province and on the federal level. Women received the suffrage first in the prairie provinces where there existed a feeling that they as much as men had opened up the land and that therefore, the vote, if they wanted it, was their due. Only in Quebec, the book records, did the struggle, bitterly contested, come closest to developing into a real fight following the British and US pattern. This volume contains indispensable background materials for the story of women's social and political growth.
