The #PersonsCase was decided by the Privy Council in London 96 years ago today, recognizing women as “persons” under Canadian law. Let us celebrate the determination of the Famous Five and continue their mission of championing equality and justice for all.
I love to visit the #Famous5 statue outside @SenateCA for inspiration. Especially so when I visited with Frances Wright @Famous5Fdn who led the statue initiative and her colleague Beatrice Keleher-Raffoul @bkraffoul Chair of @Famous5Ottawa . Grateful! #personscase
