How did feminists convince people to give women the vote when there was such a long history of women not voting?
What I learned in school is different from what I’d figured out on my own. I’d guessed that women’s suffrage was primarily built upon the issue of fairness. If men can vote, women should be able to vote, too, as a matter of fairness.What I’ve read, though, is that the fairness issue was by no means the decisive one. What won the day was the idea that women have their own unique, special voice that needs to be heard. That since we’ve voting for leaders who will run the government for everyone, that everyone’s voices should be heard at the ballot box. Therefore, women had to be given the right to vote, in recognition of their fundamental value as human beings and their special, unique take on things.Seems odd that anyone could ever think of it differently, but welcome to the real world.Humbles me a bit to wonder which of our fundamental assumptions about life will be thought ridiculous a hundred years from now.
Who were the Alberta Five?
On October 18th, 1929, a landmark decision changed the face of Canadian politics. Women were declared "persons" under the law and were granted the right to be appointed to the Senate. Their victory was the result of an arduous struggle by five Alberta women. Alberta's Famous Five - Henrietta Muir Edwards, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, Emily Murphy, and Irene Parlby - helped guarantee that women are represented in all levels of Canadian politics. By 1929, Alberta's women had secured many of the liberties commonly withheld because of gender, but surprisingly, women could not be appointed to the Senate because The British North America (BNA) Act declared, “women are persons in matters of pain and penalties, but are not persons in matters of rights and privileges.” Emily Murphy selected four prominent supporters of social reform: Henrietta Muir Edwards, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, and Irene Parlby to initiate an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada to make changes to The BNA Act. The Famous Five asked the question “does the word ‘person' in Section 24 of The British North America Act include female persons?” The disappointing decision from the Supreme Court stated that individuals must be “fit and qualified” to be appointed to a public office and therefore only men were eligible. Relentless in their quest for reform, the Famous Five approached the Privy Council of England - at that time Canada's highest court of appeal. On October 18, 1929, the Lord Chancellor of the Privy Council declared, “women are eligible to be summoned and may become Members of the Senate of Canada.” In Alberta, the achievement of the Famous Five provided a context for future legislation, which prevented discrimination on the basis of gender and improved the quality of life of many women.

The famous five only fought for women's right to vote?
The five who became famous In 1927 Emily Murphy and four other prominent Canadian women - Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edwards - asked the Supreme Court of Canada to answer the question, "Does the word "person" in Section 24 of the B.N.A. Act include female persons?" After five weeks of debate and argument the Supreme Court of Canada decided that the word "person" did not include women. The five women, nicknamed "The Famous Five", were shocked by the Supreme Court decision but did not give up the fight. Instead they refused to accept the decision and took the Persons Case to the Privy Council in England which in those days was Canada's highest court.
