This exhibition is aimed at promoting awareness of the "famous five" women from Alberta and highlighting their role in the admission of women to the Senate. In the first two sections, archival documents describe the legal process of the "Persons" Case. The correspondence and official documents reveal the obstacles that had to be overcome and the persistence of Emily Murphy, initiator of the movement and spokesperson for the five women. The third section provides an overview of the many repercussions that their victory has had across Canada, from the appointment of the first woman to the Senate in 1930 to today.
