About This Program
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if women didn’t have the same rights as men? Luckily, thanks to the women of the Famous 5, we don’t have to ponder that. Through short vignettes, acted by students, the factors that made these five women want to enact change, and what that change meant for all who followed come alive. Students will also have the opportunity to tour the Famous 5 house, a replica of Nellie McClung’s home.
