This is the end of suffragette series Previously published in Examiner Nurses who were serving in World War I were exclusively given the right to vote in the federal election. As early as 1917, women who were British subjects were allowed to vote in the federal election on behalf of their husbands or close relations (not themselves) who were off at war. Still, foreign-born subjects or naturalized as citizens who became citizens as early as 1902 (a period of 15 years as a citizen before) were denied the vote. Conscientious objectors were also denied the right to vote. By 1918, white women could vote in a federal election and by 1920 they could hold public office. (For more info on that see article, When Women Were Not Considered to be Persons). Most women of colour: Black, Chinese etc did not get the right to vote until the 1940s. Under the Indian Act, Native women could not vote in band councils until 1951; and they could not vote in a federal election before 1960. Believe it or not, full right to vote was never granted to Canadian women until 1960. The reason for that is because not all the provinces had given women the right to vote on the provincial level. Women could hold public office on the federal level; yet, still did not have the right to vote everywhere in Canada! Manitoba gave women the right to vote in 1915. The campaign to bring this about was headed by Mrs. Amelia Burritt, a 94-year-old woman! Quebec only gave women the right to vote in 1940. If you are interested in women's issues in Montreal, there are good programs available such as the Women's studies Program at Concordia University.
