Presentation transcript:

 Up until this point, women’s clothing had been very conservative.  Some women (mostly young women) began to rebel against old ideas of how they should behave

 Wore radical new dresses, which came down to just below their knees.  cut their hair in “bobs” or “shingles”.

 Many of these “flappers” were also challenging gender stereotypes by going to jazz clubs, smoking, and drinking alcohol.

 At the beginning of the 20s, men had the right to divorce if their wives had an affair.  Women, on the other hand, could not divorce their husband no matter how many affairs he had.

 In 1925 this law was changed so that women could also ask for divorce in the case of adultery.  In 1930, women would also gain the right to divorce if their husband had abandoned them for over 2 years.

 Forget it!  Birth Control was illegal, as was the selling, advertising or publication of any medicine, drug, or article intended to aid in preventing conception or causing an abortion.  Women like Nellie McClung begin to draw attention to this issue, but it would go unresolved for a long time.

 You cannot get married or keep company with men.  You must be at home between 8 pm and 6 am unless at a school function  You cannot loiter downtown in ice cream parlours  You cannot smoke or drink any alcohol  You cannot ride in any carriage or automobile with any man except your brothers or father  You cannot dress in bright colours or wear dresses more than 2 inches above the ankle

 First woman elected to the House of Commons, 1921  Fought for Senior’s pensions and worker’s rights  Also worked at reforming the corrections system in Canada

 The Persons Case: › The Famous Five were fighting for the right for women to sit in the Canadian Senate › While women now had the vote, they were still not legally deemed “persons” and therefore could not sit on the Senate › The Famous Five sent a petition to Ottawa asking if the word “persons” in the laws included female persons in 1927

 The Supreme Court decided that, in fact, under Canadian law, women were not persons.  The Five appealed this decision to the Privy Council in London, supported by William Lyon Mackenzie King  The London Court agreed with the Five and ruled that women were included in the term “persons” 1929.
