On today's show, Manitoba Women in Ag and Food Chair Laura Lazo will join us to discuss the effort to get more women involved in agriculture.

Manitoba becomes Canada’s first province to give women the vote. The mostly upper-class women involved in the early days of Canada’s women’s movement viewed universal suffrage (the vote) as a tool to strengthen good, Protestant values in Canada. Their fight, of course, was a lengthy one, and led to a patchwork of results. Involved in the process were women of the Dominion Women’s Enfranchisement Association and the National Council of Women, where between 1890 and 1900 they introduced a number of bills for provincial suffrage that were all defeated in the legislatures of Ontario, Nova Scotia, Manitoba and Quebec. The campaigns, political alliances and tactics continued into the new century, but that didn’t change much for almost another generation. Of course the vote did come to women and it started in Manitoba. After years of battles with Manitoba politicians, suffragettes like Nellie McClung – a long-time Manitoban and member of the Women’s Christian Temperance – could celebrate. On January 28, 1916, the government of Manitoba amended the Election Act, finally granting women the right to vote. Manitoba was the first province to give women the vote. It would be decades before all women throughout Canada joined them at the voting booth. Women in Saskatchewan and Alberta got the vote in 1916; followed by women in B.C. and Ontario in 1917, Nova Scotia in 1918, New Brunswick and the Yukon in 1919, P.E.I. in 1922, Newfoundland in 1925, Quebec in 1940 and finally women in the North West Territories in 1951. All aboriginals, including women, only got the right to the vote federally in 1960. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Manitoba politician and feminist Gerrie Hammond is born. Born Geraldine Rose McLean, Gerrie Hammond began her public service career as a member of the Manitoba Police Commission. She later served as a school trustee in Winnipeg before being elected to the Manitoba legislature as the MLA for Kirkfield Park in 1981. Hammond served three terms in the legislature – seven years in Opposition and two in the government of the Progressive Conservative Party. Always a champion of women’s rights, Hammond put her passion to work in 1988 as chair of the Manitoba Women’s Initiative, a task force that traveled Manitoba to make recommendations to enhance the lives of women and children. Her highly praised report propelled her into cabinet, where she served as the minister of labour and the status of women. In 1990, Hammond was awarded the province’s Women of Distinction Award for outstanding service to women. She died on November 1, 1992 of cancer, but her legacy lives on. The Gerrie Hammond Bursary is awarded each year to a single mother who attends the University of Manitoba. As well, each year the Gerrie Hammond Memorial Award of Promise is given to a promising young woman during the Women of Distinction Awards. In one of Canada’s poorest neighbourhoods, the Winnipeg North End Women’s Shelter library is dedicated to Gerrie Hammond in honour of her many contributions to improving the lives of women. Even with her feminist beliefs, Hammond said her mother taught her, “You never ask a woman her age.” Hammond’s age in life and death remains a mystery.
