Presentation transcript:

Women and Social Reform 7.5.4 Analyze how some women became more empowered and contributed to improving social conditions Dr. Carrie Best

Organizations (p.242, 243) Formed organizations (issues: child welfare,public health, working conditions for women, child labour) WCTU: educated about problems drinking caused, petitioned to limit liquor stores and bars, reforms in working conditions in factories and prisons, campaigned for right to vote (suffrage)

Organizations (p.244, 245) Literary Club: campaigned to get women accepted into colleges & universities, inspected factories, women’s washrooms, got university to admit women, persuaded store owners to provide stools, helped create Ontario Medical College for Women Women’s Institutes: farm women came together to improve knowledge of child care, healthy eating and hygiene (keep clean to avoid diseases); made friends, became better educated, felt self-confident

Voting (p.246, 248, 251) Suffragist Movement: pushed for women’s right to vote (speeches, protest marches, letters to the editor, petitions, and meetings with government officials); helped by media coverage Laws: Military Voters Act (1917) gave the vote to women serving in the war; Wartime Elections Act (1917) gave the vote to women with close relatives who were fighting in the war or had been killed in the war

NCWC Achievements: (p.255) Female inspectors for female factory workers Daycare for the children of women who worked outside the home Mother’s allowance (started 1920, widowed mother only) Women on school boards and other local governments Free libraries Playgrounds and clubs for children Home economics and skill classes Milk programs (resulted in fewer infant deaths) Clean water supplies in communities Medical inspections in schools (few had doctors)
