  2. Women of the Era

    1.In the early 1900s,the Woamn’s Christian Temperance Unon, founded in the 1870s,was still actively campaigning for prohibition.These women saw alcohol as the cause of many of society’s problems.

    2.They also supported women’s right to vote.With the vote,women believed they could influece the government to address social problems of the day,such as child labour,pollution and poverty.

    3.Once married,women had few rights over property or children,and divorce was rare.

    4.Women were not con-sidered persons under the law-unless they committed a crims. Even a woman’s salary was legally the property of her husband.

    5.Women who worked outside the home,usually before marriage, were employed mainly as servants or factory workers.Some women were teachers and nurses;a few even became doctors.

  5. After Laurier became minister in 1896, he realized that he need more people in Canada to make it prosper.He let government launched an advertising campaign to attract immigrants to Canada, especially in the west.It was really easy to immigrant to Canada if you are healthy, but not everyone is welcomed. More and more Europeans,Asians and Indians became the racism target for some Canadians just because they are not familiar to speak English.Some of Canadians think we took their jobs and resources.
