7  Emily Murphy: http://www.histori.ca/minutes/minute.do ?id=10205 http://www.histori.ca/minutes/minute.do ?id=10205

8  Emily Murphy appointed as magistrate in Alberta  This was challenged on the basis that only “persons” could hold office under the BNA Act – women were not “persons” under the law  “Famous Five” fought to have PM Mackenzie King appoint a female senator

9  1928 – Supreme Court of Canada ruled that women were not “persons”  “Famous Five” appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (Britain)  October 18, 1929 – JCPC declares support for the women: › The exclusion of women from all public offices is a relic of days more barbaric than ours... To those who ask why the word [“person”] should include females the obvious answer is why should it not? (p.60)

10  As the realities of women's lives become the subject of public discussion, and as women take more prominent places in society, laws concerning women also change. New laws are introduced for their protection, to guarantee their rights, and to recognize their special concerns. What are some of the laws that especially concern women? Consider issues of family violence and "stalking," abortion and genetic research, affirmative action and gender equity. Do laws reflect social changes, or can they actually create changes in public attitudes?

11  Booming economy = people have money!  Cars  Radios  Movies  College students swallowing goldfish  Six-day bicycle races  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZc MyMOb3iA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZc MyMOb3iA

12  Dancing › Charleston › Shimmy › Turkey Trot  Tourism › Jobs in railways, hotels, holiday resorts › In 1929, 4 million Americans spent $300 million vacationing in Canada

13  Influenced by the U.S.  Men: › Straw hates › Form-fitting double-breasted suits › Bell-bottom pants › Bow ties › Slicked-down hair

14  Women: › “flappers” › “bobbed” hair › Hemlines above the knees › Silk stockings › Dresses that promoted the flat- chested look

15  Invention of the assembly line (Henry Ford, 1913) meant that cars could be made quickly and cheaply  Model T Ford

16 › All identical › Cost less than $300! › One made every 3 minutes › Workers made $5/day – well above average – but no unions allowed

17  Increased tenfold  Physical barriers of Canadian Shield and Rocky Mountains delayed the construction of the Trans-Canada Highway  Better highways in the U.S. › Led B.C. to change to right-hand side driving

18  First drive-in restaurant in Canada in 1928

19  P.62

20  Telephone was a standard household appliance  Radio › Broke down isolation › Mostly U.S. stations – small Canadian ones couldn’t compete

21  Silent, accompanied by an orchestra or piano and subtitles  Canadian films couldn’t compete  Hollywood glamour › Mary Pickford, born in Toronto, known as “America’s Sweetheart”  “talkies” arrived in 1927 › Laurel and Hardy › Marx Brothers

22  Emily Carr: http://www.histori.ca/minutes/minute.do ?id=10214 http://www.histori.ca/minutes/minute.do ?id=10214
