Her family were prominent members of society; her father was a wealthy businessman and landowner, who encouraged all his children to be involved in helping with his endeavors. Emily was educated at a private school in Ontario, which helped to give her a wider and more liberal outlook on life. In 1887, she married Arthur Murphy, an Anglican priest; together they had four children. After the death of one of her children from diphtheria, the family moved to Manitoba and then Edmonton, Alberta in 1906. During 1900-1906, Emily began writing patriotic travel sketches, published under her pseudonym, Janey Canuck. However, in Alberta, Emily became increasingly engaged in social issues, becoming concerned about widespread poverty, and particularly the welfare of women and children. In 1910, she became the first woman appointed to the Edmonton Hospital Board. She was particularly struck when she became aware that the property law gave women no rights; and if a husband sold a property and moved out, the wife and children could be left with nothing. Murphy took to speaking on issues of unjust social conditions and injustice. After a few years of campaigning to overturn the unjust property law, in 1916, the Alberta legislature passed the Dower Act, giving women a legal right to 33% of their husband’s property. This gave women the power of legal recourse. The successful campaign and new law enhanced the public profile of Emily Murphy. Emily Murphy was also a member of the Equal Franchise League and worked with Nelli McClung to help get the vote for women. (Alberta women got the vote in 1916, Canadian women in 1919) As part of her efforts to look out for the welfare of women, in 1916, Murphy along with other activists, tried to be at the trial of some women accused of prostitution. However, Murphy and the other female observers were asked to leave the court during the trial – they were told ‘it would be inappropriate for them to be present’. Murphy felt it was wrong that female prostitutes were being tried only in the presence of men. She protested to the provincial Attorney general and argued that if women couldn’t be tried with both men and women present, they should be tried by a female judge. Because of her protest, Murphy was allowed to become a female magistrate – the first female police magistrate in the British Empire. However, during her first case on 1 July 1916, the defendant’s lawyer protested that Murphy’s guilty verdict was invalid because Murphy was a woman and therefore, under the BNA act of 1867, was not a legal person. Because of this legal challenge, Murphy began a long campaign to have women classified as persons, and the archaic 1867 law overturned. She allowed her name to be put forward as a candidate for the Senate. However, it was turned down by Prime Minister Robert Borden because the BNA act did not recognise women as a person. Motivated by this anachronism, she found that one way to challenge a law was to present a submission from five interested parties to the Canadian Supreme Court. These became known as the Famous Five and included Nellie McClung, Louis McKinney, Henrietta Edwards and Irene Parlby. This became known as the person’s case, and the Supreme Court ruled on the question: “Does the word ‘person’ in Section 24 of the British North America Act include female persons?” In March 1928, the Canadian Supreme Court ruled that women did not constitute a person. However, undeterred, Murphy appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Britain (at the time, the highest court of appeal) The Privy Council ruled, on 18 October 1929, that women were considered a person under the BNA and were eligible to serve in the Senate. This was a landmark ruling and paved the way for women to enter government and helped to change societies attitudes to women in many other professions. Biography Online. (2018). Emily Murphy |.

A woman ahead of her time': First female city councilor honored in Vancouver Helena Gutteridge was elected in 1937 after decades of fighting for women's and workers' rights More than 80 years after she first walked into Vancouver City Hall as a councillor, Helena Gutteridge has been honoured with a plaza in her name. Several dignitaries and community leaders were on hand Thursday to reveal a new sign that helps recognize her contributions to the city. "It has been a long time coming," said Mayor Gregor Robertson. "Today is not just about honouring Helena Rose Gutteridge and her struggle for justice and equality, but it is about setting our intention going forward because her work, unfortunately, is continuing and has a long ways to go." Gutteridge moved to Canada in 1911 and began work as a tailor. According to Irene Howard, who wrote a book about Gutteridge, she soon began trying to shake up the status quo, fighting for women's and workers' rights. "She was a woman for heaven sakes, women didn't act like that. Not then," said Howard. Irene Howard wrote a book about Helena Gutteridge, The Struggle for Social Justice in British Columbia: Helena Gutteridge, the Unknown Reformer. (Tristan Le Rudulier/CBC) At 95, Howard has a unique perspective on how unique Gutteridge was in the early 1900's — and how much of a struggle it must have been."I had professors say to me when I was wearing slacks 'You aren't wearing those, are you?'" she recalled. Helena Gutteridge was inspired by the suffragette movement in England before she moved to Canada. (City of Vancouver Archives) According to a government of Canada biography, Gutteridge joined the Vancouver Trades and Labour Council Executive, which was an umbrella organization for Vancouver's labour movement at the time. She helped to organize female workers when there were few women in the work force and they earned 40 to 50 per cent less than men. And she was able to convince the trades and labour council to support equal pay for equal work for women. She also helped form the B.C. Women's Suffrage League in 1913 fight for women's right to vote. Even that was unusual, Howard said, because at the time, the women's movement didn't generally include working- class women. "It was sort of, not exactly, a society thing, but it was women having tea together," Howard said. Helena Gutteridge was the first woman to win a seat as a Vancouver city councillor. (City of Vancouver Archives) Gutteridge was elected to city council in 1937. There, she brought various groups together to fight for a federally- funded program of low-rental housing, laying the groundwork for a social-housing movement in B.C. Current city councillor Elizabeth Ball said she studied Gutteridge's background when she was thinking about getting involved in politics. She says she admired her fairness and determination to fight for a variety of issues. "She was incredibly inspiring to any woman who comes onto council because she wasn't afraid to fight the prejudices at the time and work for the diverse population that existed," she said. Former councillor Ellen Woodsworth said Gutteridge was a "force to be reckoned with. "She stood up, she spoke out and she was a woman ahead of her time," Woodsworth said. Gutteridge died in 1960. “'A Woman Ahead of Her Time': First Female City Councillor Honoured in Vancouver | CBC News.” CBCnews, CBC/Radio Canada, 9 Mar. 2018, www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/helena-gutteridge-plaza-first-female-vancouver-city-councillor- 1.4568793.[Accessed 22 Dec.
