So far this season, our most popular episode is about Sir Guy Carleton and The Quebec Act -- timely, given its 250th anniversary this June. 🍁⚜️ But what's our most popular episode ever??? A little story about an Irish Quebecker maid in Toronto and what happened to her body...

This week, we're standing back and trying to get a sense of the last 3 seasons, and what some of the takeaways might be.

Our Emily Murphy episode has arrived! Controversial then, and still controversial now, how do *you* think someone like Murphy should factor into the stories of Canada and the Irish Diaspora?

@VickiKelly22 Yes.

Forget 'what do you do with a drunken sailor'. This week, we're asking, 'what do you do with a politically incorrect woman from 100 years ago?' 🤔 A brief clip from tomorrow's episode... ☘️🍁

What do you think of this commemoration of the Famous Five? Did you know they were the first Canadian-born women to be featured on Parliament Hill? But there's *much* more to the story beyond the rather annoying cups of tea... Tune in on Thursday for our Emily Murphy episode!

[The Irish in Canada Podcast @IrishCanadaPod]

Our ☘️Irish Canadian Controversial Women🍁 series concludes this Thursday with an episode on Emily Murphy, the Canadian first-wave feminist and driving force behind the Person's Case, who provoked livid reactions in the early 20th century and is still doing so in the 21st...

[The Irish in Canada Podcast @IrishCanadaPod]

Yesterday's Nellie McClung episode is already pulling in great numbers, but did you hear Part 1 of our series on 'Controversial Women' all about Katherine Hughes?

Nellie McClung was an early 20thC 'maternal feminist.' To combat her position, some of her male detractors criticised her own mothering skills. Listen tomorrow to find out what happened when one of them came face-to-face with Nellie! Image: LAC/MIKAN 3622977
