    Emily Murphy  

 

Died:  October 17, 1933, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

 

Biographical Note:

Emily (Ferguson) Murphy was an adult educator for womens rights, a prominent suffragist and reformer, the first female magistrate in the Commonwealth, the organizer of the Person's Case, and an accomplished author (under the pen name, Janey Canuck). 

  

Before Emily's heroic efforts came to fruition in 1929, Canadian women were excluded from public office as senators, certain professions and universities.  Her passion for social reform was the foundation of educating adults from all walks of life about women's rights:  from women who under-valued themselves .
