Celebrating
Women's History - booklet text (pdf)
Introduction
When learning about Canada and Canadian history makers,
have you ever wondered, "Where were the women"? We know they must have been
around, but far more men than women have made it into the history books. That's because
prejudicial views of the past ignored many of the important contributions women were
making to the building of our country and our province. Now that attitudes are changing,
we can rediscover our history by learning about the women who helped to create it.
In celebration of Women's History Month 2002, the Manitoba
Women's Directorate wanted to focus attention on some of the events, policies, legislation
and extraordinary people that helped to change the lives of Manitoba women. You'll find
that much of the information provided here is directly related to Manitoba women and the
history of our province.
Explore the pages below to discover more about the history
of women in Manitoba.
