Tips

January 27, 2025

The Famous Five were five women who in 1927 initiated proceedings before the Supreme Court of Canada and later the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council concerning the right of women to be appointed to the Canadian Senate. The case is known in Canada as the Persons Case because the question to be decided was whether women were "persons" under the law. After the Supreme Court answered this question in the negative, the five women appealed to the Privy Council in London, which overturned the Supreme Court's decision and ruled in favor of the plaintiffs.

The women (all from Alberta) were:
- Emily Murphy (also the first female judge in the British Empire)
- Irene Marryat Parlby (leader of the rural women, activist and first female minister in Alberta)
- Nellie Mooney McClung (suffragette and member of the Alberta Parliament);
- Louise Crummy McKinney (first woman elected to the legislature of Alberta and thus of Canada and the British Empire)
- Henrietta Muir Edwards (founder of the Victorian Order of Nurses).
