Female suffrage is the right of women to be voters in elections. For a long time, women were separated from many areas of life and activity where men dominated. However, their struggle for their rights allows modern women to defend their equality, and therefore it is critical to study the historical basis.
Several women-uniting organizations have emerged in Canada for the general protection of their interests. One of the most influential organizations, the National Council of Women of Canada (NCWC), endorsed women’s suffrage in 1910. Men have resisted such changes, arguing their position by the cruelty of politics to women and the myth about lower intelligence.
Nevertheless, women spoke from a position of justice and non-discrimination, and even using the ideas of separate spheres appealed to their unique roles as mothers and wives. While the promotion of suffrage was slow, it was inevitable in a community where liberal forces dominated.
