International Womans Day
In this special Moms On Mics episode for International Women’s Day, we dive into the story of Alberta’s Famous Five
Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Henrietta Edwards, Louise McKinney, and Irene Parlby, the trailblazing women who helped change Canadian history through the landmark Persons Case.
We talk about how these Alberta women fought for women to be legally recognized as “persons” under Canadian law, what life was like for women in the early 1900s, and how their courage still impacts our daughters and sons today. As moms, we reflect on the importance of raising kids who understand equality, respect, and the power of using their voices for change.
This episode celebrates resilience, progress, and the women who paved the way for future generations.
💜 Happy International Women’s Day.
