Henrietta Muir Edwards (1849-1931), journalist, suffragist and organizer, fought for equal rights for wives, mothers' allowances and women's rights.
She started the Working Girls' Association in Montreal in 1875, a forerunner of the YWCA. Later, while living in Alberta, she compiled two works on Alberta and federal laws affecting women and children. Photo: Courtesy of Glenbow Archives, Calgary, Alberta, NA-2607-1 [ Close window ] |
