QUOTES MISC.II

My amazement for Google Doodles knows no borders.

Today’s Doodle birthday celebration of American
Nellie Bly (1864-1922) who was born 151 years ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrrgeZKvFEo

is an opportunity for me to celebrate the life of

Nellie Bly

 as well as the lives of
5 historic Canadian females,

who deserve to have their very own

Google Doodle Canadian Day.

Three of these remarkable ladies were born in Ontario,
another one in Quebec and one in England.
During their lifetime they all moved to Alberta!

All five were active for the welfare of Women and Children
around the same time as Nellie Bly in the USA.

In their honour I am posting:

FIVE FAMOUS HISTORIC HEROINE QUOTES

Enjoy!

“I believe that never was a country better adapted
to produce a great race of women than this Canada of ours,
nor a race of women better adapted to make a great country.”
~Emily Murphy~ 1868-1933

“What, after all, is the purpose of a woman’s life?
The purpose of a woman’s life is just the same
as the purpose of a man’s life:
that she may make the best possible contribution
to the generation in which she is living.”
~Louise McKinney~ 1868-1931

“Canada is destined to be one of the great nations of the world
and Canadian women must be ready for citizenship.”
~Nellie McClung~ 1873-1951

“If women had the vote there would be no need to come twice
asking for better legislation for women and children,
no need to come again and again for the appointment of
women inspectors where women and children are employed;
we would not ask in vain for the raising of the wage or consent.”
~Henrietta Muir Edwards~ 1849-1931

“If politics mean… the effort to secure through legislative
action better conditions of life for the people, greater
opportunities for our children and other people’s children…
then it most assuredly is a woman’s job
as much as it is a man’s job.”
~Irene Parlby~ 1868-1965
