Best remembered for their work as suffragists, legislators, champions of the rights and welfare of women and children, and for their successful appeal of the ‘Persons' Case in 1929 [in Canada] which changed the world for all women in the British Empire. Dressed in our Sunday best,
we were ever so lady-like as we sipped our tea and nibbled on those delightful, tiny finger sandwiches and fought over, (i mean bid on) spectacular artist-made hats --www.aboundphotography.com/Non-Profit/Famous-5-Foundation/

all to support the Famous 5 foundation that carries on the leadership work begun by these hard-as-nails early feminists.
Carry on, girls! "We are equal to high and splendid braveries."

I don't know who those women are but it sounds like fun! I also really like your coat!
What a wonderful celebration and tribute to those amazingly steadfast women who began the paths to freedom for all of their sistahs! ♥ It must have been empowering just to be there! Way to go Jane!

sistas rock! LDR
ladies who lunch....soul sister style!
Being a Canadian, Albertan, Calgarian girl gives me the privilege of knowing about these Fab 5 women! The first school I taught at was dedicated to one of these lovely ladies... Nellie McClung. Dare I say it was 1976 when I was allowed to grace the school and have a fantastic student teaching experience. Well golly... that must make me nearly as old as her! Did you win the bid for the hat Jane?
