1. If you were to interview Nellie McClung, what three questions would you ask?
a. What inspired your passion for advocating women's rights and suffrage?
b. What were the biggest hurdles you faced in your activism, and how did you overcome them?
c. What are the most pressing issues for women today, and what advice would you offer to those fighting for gender equality?
2. Do you think women should be given special status (e.g., the federal government agency Status of Women Canada)? Why or why not? Be prepared to defend your opinions.
Women should have specialized agencies like Status of Women Canada to address persistent inequalities. Such agencies focus attention on issues like pay gaps and representation disparities. Critics argue this can perpetuate gender divisions, but balanced approaches integrating gender equality across policies are needed.
