Females have stamped the world with a mark of success, significance, and innovation through changes of their lives originating from the roaring 20’s. 50.6% of Canadas population today consists of women.

After everything women have donated to society, consider that women have only been people for under one hundred years. The decade of the 1920s was a period of change in Canada. Canada had just returned back home from a brutal war overseas. Industry was booming, pride was booming, morale was booming and Canada was up and coming. The 20s were roaring, and life was mainly good in Canada, as it was a time of celebration, dancing and lots of partying. The 1920s are considered to be home to some of the most impactful advances in the world today, such as the radio, technology, cars, the transition from rural to urban, entertainment, popularity of sports and the start to some inclusivity with people of differences.

Women began to realize, that they are the same creature as their husbands and that they deserve to be treated equal. There was absolutely no reason, for women to be treated so poorly, especially politically, economically, and socially, as they decided to take a stand.

In truth, women were allowed to vote during the first war, however only those with family and relation to the war in benefit to the government. The government only allowed certain women, because they knew
However, by 1817 New Brunswick began issuing naturalization certificates. In Upper Canada there were no naturalization laws until roughly 1828. It was not until Canada gained its independence in 1867 that naturalization became a federal process. The provinces had jurisdiction over immigrants, but the certificates were granted by the Secretary of State for Canada. Petitions for citizenship were forwarded on to the Secretary of State from the local judicial courts. Unfortunately

Indian customs and traditions. In this paper, I will examine how one section of the Act, the one relating to residential schools, contributed to the genocide of Indian culture.

booms and recessions due to changing international and tumultuous internal dynamics. At no time was this ebb and flow more apparent than in the mid-twentieth century. The Canadian economy went from a boom at the end of the First World War and into the 1920s when consumerism began to unfold to a tremendous drop after the stock market crash of 1929. It would not recover from this until preparations for the next world war began in 1938. During the Second World War, not only did the war itself enable the
