It delves into complex political and sociological aspects of the movement and the unsettling biases of the movers. It includes the perspectives of Indigneous peoples, white British settlers, ethnic minorities, farm women, and the working class.

Suffragists worked long and hard to overcome obstacles, persuade doubters, and build allies. But their work also had a dark side. Even as settler suffragists pressured legislatures to grant their sisters the vote, they often approved of that same right being denied to \"foreigners\" and Indigenous men and women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy situating the suffragists' struggle in the colonial history of Prairie Canada, this powerful and passionate book shows that the right to vote meant different things to different people – political rights and emancipation for some, domination and democracy denied for others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Settler Suffragists: Context, Causes, Obstacles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Manitoba: A Long-Sustained and Just Agitation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Saskatchewan: A Spark Nearly Smothered\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Alberta: Plain, Old-Fashioned, Unfrilled Justice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 A New Day Coming?
