Feminist Influence Through the Senate: The Case of Divorce, 1967
Abstract
Questions about Canadian women's ability to create political, legal and social change are addressed as the authors investigate the links between women's organizations and Canadian women senators. The study of women senators' interests, associations with women's organizations and Senate committee work, highlights the influence of Canadian women in politics. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between Senator Muriel Fergusson and the National Council of Women in relation to the Council's representations made to the Special Senate-House of Commons Committee on Divorce in 1967.Metrics
