The Persons Case 1929 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

The Persons Case 1929 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)

Question: 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?
