At last suffrage has been granted! In federal elections that is. Some stubborn men still refuse to give women the right to vote in smaller meetings but that will hopefully change in the near future. I cannot possibly describe the joy I feel to you! The struggle that women went through to gain what I find a basic right is propesterous but the fact that certain women for example the suffragettes fought through it all is absolutely amazing not to mention admirable.
I feel the need to congratulate Nellie McClung, Emily Murphy, Irene Parlby, Louise Mckinney, Henrietta Muir Edwards and all the other women who have fought for our cause and pushed these ridiculous limits. As I have already said this achievement is just a small step on a long journey, we must push forward and never lose sight of our goal to be treated and respected as equals! If we continue on this road who knows what great things we can achieve in the future!
