    Nellie L. McClung (1873-1951) is a true Canadian icon—a feminist, social activist, author, and political leader who made a lasting impact on her country. As a child, she moved to Manitoba with her pioneering farming family, immersing herself in the vibrant tapestry of rural life at the turn of the century. Her debut novel, Sowing Seeds in Danny (1908), captures the essence of daily life on the Canadian prairies and became a national best-seller, selling over 100,000 copies. A passionate suffragette, McClung spearheaded the fight for womens enfranchisement, leading Manitoba to become the first province in Canada to grant women the right to vote in 1916—years ahead of the U.S. (1920) and the U.K. (1928). After relocating to Alberta, she was elected to the provincial legislature in 1921, where she tirelessly advocated for children’s health care and women’s rights. As a member of the Famous Five, her legacy is honored with a statue on the grounds of the Manitoba legislature, commemorating the landmark 1929 court case that recognized women as “persons” eligible to serve as federal senators. - Summary by ASharma
