In Times Like These
'In Times Like These' Summary
Nellie McClung's 'In Times Like These' is a powerful testament to the social and political landscape of early 20th-century Canada, particularly focusing on the burgeoning women's suffrage movement. Through a collection of essays and speeches, McClung articulates her fervent belief in the equal worth and capabilities of women. She addresses the societal constraints placed on women, including limited access to education and employment opportunities, and the legal and social barriers they faced in achieving equality. McClung's work challenges conventional gender roles, emphasizing the vital contribution women can make to society. She uses a combination of personal anecdotes, historical analysis, and persuasive rhetoric to advocate for women's right to vote, arguing for their inherent capacity to be responsible citizens. The book reflects the changing social dynamics of the time and McClung's pivotal role in shaping a more inclusive and equitable society for women in Canada.Book Details
