Title of Thesis/Project/Extended Essay , ~quality,Emancipation and a More Just World: Leading Women in the British Columbia Cooperative - Commonwealth Federation. Author: - (signature) ' Susan Walsh - - - - - iii ABSTRACT *- , In .the wake of suffrage victories,'many early twentieth century Canadian women worked hard to make that equality meaningful and to extend' it- to all areas of women's lives. For those who predictGd great however, too few took their hard-earned rights the poiling station.. Most expressed their concerns and goals within the more familiar world of women's organizations. Helena Gutteridge, Laura. Jamieson, Dorothy Steeves and Grace MacInnis were among the notable exceptions. While maintaining important ties with women's groups, .t,hey sought and won public office, ' pioneering important paths for generations of Can-adian women &+ye political trai.1 blazers stand out for another , . important reason. They chose to establish their careers and fest their political- rights in a socialist party -- t he Cooperative Commonwealth Federation -- pledged to sexual emancipation and equal opportunities for women. They were, in short, dual rebels -- as feminists and socialists -- in a sex and class-ordered world. Canada's third-party, socialist alternative gave these four wgmen a very warm reception. All four emerged as t \ leaders within the British Columbia CCF after a relatively brief apprenticeship. But the champi.oning of both causes was at the same time theoretically and, in practice, arduous. The CCF had difficulty 'living up to its promise of f sexual egalitarianism. When class aspiJrations clashed with gender ones, the latter suffered. Nor did the majority of women within the party take the "great leap forward" which socialist theory forecasted. Through its investigation of Gutteridge, Jamieson, Steeves and MacInnis' respective paths to po1i.tical power and- leadership, this thesis demonstrates that for leading wom.en within the CCF, in particular the British Columbia CCF, the balancing of class and gender loyalties was no easy. task. Personal, political and party ambitions worked against a whole-hearted campaign ,.for sexual equality. Still, attempts to give equal amounts of attention to both allegiances were made and in Gutteridge and Jamieson's case, a relatively comfortable balance was found. - Steeves and MacInnis, on the other hand, chose socialist goals over feminist ones. For these still more prominent women,L balanced loyalties were unrealistic and too costly. Para- doxically, they came considerably closer than their older sisters to the power and cloutwhich the franchise triumphs of 1917 and 1018 heralded. t My: warm thanks to Veronica Strong-Boag for the experience, insight and patience she shared with me during * the cours,e of my research and wrfting. Her astut greatly facilitated my task. Mary Lynn ~c~ou~alfand Allen Seager also deserve a special note of thanks for their help- ful guidance: I would also like to express my appreciation to those Interviewed •’'or this - thesis. Grace MacInnis graciously opened her door ta me on three occassions. Her frank and perceptive recollections, were invaluable. Hilda' Kristiansen, Daisy Webster, Mildred Farnhi, Jessie atid Harold Winch, a:nd Christine Cameron likewise offered thoughtful observations about the lives and timestof the % women this thesis profiles.

After thirty five years of relentless cam- paigning 'by a determined few, on May 24, 1918, women finally > obtained the federal franchise. The right to political re- presentation, however, did not bring with it unqualified equality. As 'late as 1928, for example, the Supreme Court ruled that "women were not qualified for the Senate and were not, therefore, legally personsM.l It took another year and the persistance of five Alberta women bef oreBthe Privy 1 Council overrul'ed this decision. h Women's involvement in political' parties is one expres- sion of the degree to which the victories of 19.18 and 19'29 i satisfied early feminist expectation@ and ambitions. Yet, in proportion to their numbers, the role of women in poli- ", tics has been disappointing to those who predicted great changes. Between 1919 and 1975, only twenty five women were elected to the House of Commons while only a slightly larger group of sixty-seven became' provinc'ial legislator^.^ In her study of Nellie McClung and female activism in the 1920s, Veronica Strong-Boag concludes that "the failuq of pre-suffrage feminists to develop and'clearly define at- tractive and satisfying models of an activist femininity 0 PAGE 2 P made the future loom as tractless- and obscure."!3 This ex- . ,plana'tion, in part, illuminates women's poor political record.- Maternal responsibilities, educational barriers and a host of gender-specific obstacles within the Canadian -political arena further weakened their drive and ability to hold public office.

  • The British Columbia CCF's Working-Class
    CONTROVERSY / POLÉMIQUE The British Columbia CCF’s Working-Class Moment: Socialism Not Populism James Naylor In August 1934, delegates of the Socialist Party of Canada, the dominant of the two affiliates to the British Columbia Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (bc/ccf), returning from the National Convention of the ccf in Winnipeg, lamented that “the Convention was far from being revolutionary, and tended further to the right.” The only bright spot on the horizon, they felt, was the small national youth movement that understood the necessity of “forg[ing] an instrument” capable of “the revolutionary transformation of our economic and social system.”1 Throughout the 1930s, the bc ccf was consid- ered nationally as the most left wing of the movement’s provincial sections, and the bc ccf itself considered itself to be responsible for providing a revo- lutionary and working-class anchor to a national movement that seemed, at times, to drift from its socialist moorings. And, for the most part, historians – most recently Benjamin Isitt – have acknowledged the bc ccf’s place on the left-wing of the Canadian movement in the 1930s and beyond.2 As Robert A.J. McDonald rightly argues, however, there was much in the day-to-day practice and language of the bc ccf that seemed to violate its own self-perception. Indeed, its actions appear not very different, for the most part, than other provincial ccf sections that engaged in socialist education and ran in elections. He argues that was most apparent in the ccf’s breakthrough pro- vincial election in 1933, which he sees as a “populist moment” wherein the 1.

Without doubt, from a social welfare perspective, the CCF helped build and develop an extensive social welfare system across Canada. It has been justly credited with being one of the major influences over Canadian social welfare policy during the critical years following the Great Depression. This was especially true of the period of the Second World War when the federal Liberal government of Mackenzie King adroitly borrowed CCF policy planks to remove the harsh edges of capitalism and put Canada on the path to a modern Welfare State.

  • And the 1918 Vancouver Steam Laundries Dispute
    “Girl Strikers” and the 1918 Vancouver Steam Laundries Dispute Janet Mary Nicol campaign to raise the minimum wage in British Columbia spearheaded by the BC Federation of Labour’s first female president, Irene Lanzinger, and affecting 63 percent of women Awage earners, concluded successfully in 2018.1 A century ago women performing low-paid work fought a similar battle for a living wage. They were limited to gendered work, navigating inferior working conditions, sexual harassment, and health and safety concerns. Women comprised 13 percent of the Canadian labour force compared to nearly 50 percent in 2015, typically working until marriage, their husband the sole wage- earner.2 Organizing into trade unions was challenging, and white, male- dominated leaders were unreliable in their support. Women employed as telephone operators, retail clerks, bookbinders, tailors, and domestic workers in Vancouver signed union cards in the early 1900s, but their locals were not easily sustained. Such was the case of a laundry workers’ union formed in the city in 1902 and dissolved three years later.3 Still women persisted. When a labour shortage caused by the First World War occurred between 1916 to 1920, union membership soared. Laundry workers in cities across North America were among those to take a stand.4 1 “The Fight for $15” campaign by organized labour groups continues in many North American jurisdictions, the BC minimum wage increasing incrementally to fifteen dollars an hour by 2021.

  • Women in the British Columbia Coal-Mining Community of Ladysmith, 1912-14
    "STOUT LADIES AND AMAZONS": Women in the British Columbia Coal-Mining Community of Ladysmith, 1912-14 JOHN R. HINDE URING THE WEEK of 12 August 1913, riots shook the strike bound coal-mining communities of Vancouver Island.1 DHomes were looted and burned to the ground in Extension and vandalized in Ladysmith, South Wellington, and Nanaimo. Many people were physically assaulted, and, although no one was killed, one arrested miner, twenty-one-year-old Joseph Mairs Jr., died later in prison, and one strike-breaker, AlexMcKinnon, had his right hand blown off when dynamite was thrown into his Ladysmith home. The provincial government had refused to intervene in the strike, but, when it received news of the violence, it responded swiftly and harshly, mobilizing the militia, declaring martial law in the affected regions, and, with the assistance of the police, drawing up lists of suspected rioters and union organizers. Within a week there were 450 soldiers in Cumberland, 130 in Ladysmith, and nearly 1,000 in Nanaimo. When the dust finally settled, authorities had arrested 213 men, tried 166, and sentenced 50 to prison. Of the 50 convicted men, 38 were from Ladysmith. Respectable BC society was shocked to learn during the preliminary investigations and the subsequent trials that "at Ladysmith and at Extension a great deal of the damage done was the work of women sympathizers."2 This was of grave concern to Frederick William Howay, the judge and historian who presided over the trial of the Ladysmith strikers. To add insult to his injured sense of middle- 1 By far the best account of the strike is in Lynne Bowen, Boss Whistle, (Lantzville: Oolichan, 1982); see also John Norris, "The Vancouver Island Coal Miners, 1912-14: A Study of an Organizational Strike," BC Studies 45 (1980): 56-72, and Alan Wargo, "The Great Coal Strike: The Vancouver Island Coal Miners' Strike, 1912-1914" (Bachelor's essay, History Department, University of British Columbia, 1962).
