Series: Women’s Suffrage and the Struggle for Democracy Ours by Every Law of Right and Justice Women and the Vote in the Prairie Provinces Hardcover Sarah Carter 9780774861878 $27.95 HISTORY Nov 01, 2020

Many of Canada’s most famous suffragists lived and campaigned in the Prairie provinces, which led the way in granting women the right to vote and hold office.
