概要

 Discover the remarkable life of Nellie L. McClung (1873-1951), a true Canadian icon known for her fierce advocacy for womens rights, social justice, and political change. After moving to Manitoba as a child in a pioneering family, McClung became a teacher in rural Manitoba, where she keenly observed the fabric of village life at the dawn of the 20th century. As a passionate suffragette, she was instrumental in Manitoba becoming the first province in Canada to grant women the right to vote in 1916—two years before it was recognized nationally and well ahead of both the US (1920) and UK (1928). Elected to the Alberta legislature in 1921, she tirelessly championed childrens healthcare and womens rights. As a member of the Famous Five, whose statues proudly stand at the Manitoba legislature, her landmark 1929 court challenge established that women could be recognized as “persons” eligible for federal senate positions. In Painted Fires, she narrates the inspiring story of Helmi Milander, a young immigrant from Finland in the years leading up to WWI. With her spirit of being young, strong, and unafraid, Helmis journey intertwines with McClung’s social activism, addressing themes of the futility of war, womens suffrage, and the struggles faced by immigrants in early 20th century Canada.
