When the history of suffrage is written, the role played by our politicians will cut a sad figure beside that of the women they insulted. Speaking in 1935, feminist Idola Saint-Jean captured the bitter nature of Quebec womens fight for enfranchisement, as religious authorities weighed what they stood to gain or lose and politicians showed open disdain during Legislative Assembly debates. Quebec women had to wait until 1940 or longer to cast a ballot. This passionate yet even-handed account is filled with vivid characters and pivotal events on the road to suffrage in the province. It examines Quebec womens participation in provincial and municipal politics since winning the vote and compares womens struggle to that in other countries. An astute exploration of suffrage, To Be Equals in Our Own Country treats enfranchisement and the legal, social, and economic rights that stem from it as a fundamental question of human rights.
