Nellie Mcclung was well know for being a suffragette who campaigned for women’s rights in the early 1900’s. Aside from that, she was also a politician, author and social activist. A wife and mother to five, Nellie McClung had her hands full, but never did she let anything get in the way of her campaigning for equality. Starting her fight for equality in Manitoba, which became the first province to allow women to vote, she then progressively moved west and brought her ideals with her. She continued her activist career in Alberta then BC, where she died in 1951. In 1927, Nellie and 4 other women (who later became known as the Famous Five) launched a case called the “Person’s Case”, which contended that women should be considered qualified persons
