“Nice Women Don’t Want the Vote”
This exhibit, which was designed by the Manitoba Museum, was developed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the right to vote for women in Manitoba (1916). This exhibit takes a closer look at pioneers, authors, journalists and activists who helped create a first in the entire country. Artefacts and historical pictures depict some of the people who were up against each other in both camps as well as the arguments used on each side. Not only does the exhibit highlight the achievements that resulted from this win, but also demonstrates those that were left behind in the wake of this movement.
Exhibit schedule: from June 24 to September 3, 2018
