Many of Canada's most famous suffragists lived and campaigned in
the Prairie provinces, which led the way in granting women the
right to vote and hold office. In Ours by Every Law of Right and
Justice, Sarah Carter challenges the myth that grateful male
legislators simply handed women the vote when it was asked for.
Settler suffragists worked long and hard to overcome obstacles and
persuade doubters. But even as they petitioned for the vote for
their sisters, they often approved of that same right being denied
to "foreigners" and Indigenous peoples. By situating the
suffragists' struggle in the colonial history of Prairie Canada,
this powerful and passionate book shows that the right to vote
meant different things to different people.
