72 - The Early Suffrage Movement (ft. Camille Houle-Eichel)

A Cultural History of Canada

In which we are joined by long-time background guest and feminist extraordinaire, Camille Houle-Eichel, to talk about the early suffrage movements that emerged in the 19th and 20th centuries! We talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of those movements, stopping just short of the actual achievement of provincial or federal suffrage. ---Support: Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/historiacanadiana); Paypal (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/historiacanadiana); the recommended reading page (https://historiacanadiana.wordpress.com/books/) ---Contact: [e-mail], Twitter (@CanLitHistory) & Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/CanLitHistory). ---Sources/Further Reading:
