Emily Murphy
Born: March 14, 1868, Cookstown, Ontario, Canada
Died: October 17, 1933, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Biographical Note:
Emily (Ferguson) Murphy was an adult educator for womens rights, a prominent suffragist and reformer, the first female magistrate in the Commonwealth, the organizer of the Person's Case, and an accomplished author (under the pen name, Janey Canuck).
Before Emily's heroic efforts came to fruition in 1929, Canadian women were excluded from public office as senators, certain professions and universities. Her passion for social reform was the foundation of educating adults from all walks of life about women's rights: from women who under-valued themselves .
. . to men who declared that women are persons in matters of pains and penalties, but are not persons in matters of rights and privileges .
