CANADIAN HISTORY2Exhibit: Bronze Statue entitled Women Are Persons!This exhibit explores Alberta’s “Famous Five,” petitioners in one of Canada’s most famous case entitled Persons Case. It was in 1927 when the case was tabled before Canada’s Supreme Court followed by a decision in the Judicial Council of Britain’s Privy Council (Canada’s highest ranking court at the moment) in 1929. Essentially, the five women had been involved in vigorous campaigns aimed at advocating for women’s rights and they enjoyed both an international and national reputation.Why I Choose the TopicFor too long, the literature on Canadian history has focused more on the great men of Canada while seemingly excluding the women. Notably, the women of Canada, as in the case of the “Famous Five,” impacted the history of Canada in one way or another. Though it was not easy, women successfully filled the new roles created by wartime demands, while maintaining the roles of traditional females. Hence, there is need to grant the women their worthy recognition.Inclusions to the ExhibitThe message, as encoded by the exhibit, will be explained to the audience through the useof a small booklet. The booklet will be placed just above the exhibit so that the people who comealong will just have to flip through the pages to get the deeper meaning of the portrait.Medium to be usedThe exhibition will be presented in form of an essay through MS Word.
