Famous 5 Centre of Canadian Women

The Famous 5 Centre of Canadian Women tells the story of influential women in Canadian history. This replica of Nellie McClung’s home is used to share the stories of the Famous 5 group of Albertan women and other women in Canadian history. The centre features the story of 5 brave, persistent, and victorious Albertan women – Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney, Henrietta Muir Edwards, and Emily Murphy – who petitioned and won the right for women to be considered “Persons” under the British North America Act in 1929.
