	Canadian History and Culture #1 -- Nellie McClung
		While she was an MLA, Nellie McClung had become one of the Famous Five--five Alberta women who petitioned the government of Canada to expand the legal definition of the word PERSON to include women, and thus enable women to be appointed to the Senate.
		For example, when Nellie and her sisters observed that women and children suffered economically, socially, spiritually, and often physically because of alcohol and drug abuse, their response was to fight for the right to vote.
		Nellie, moved by suffering, challenged all people not to tolerate or accept the masculine values which allowed such slaughters to happen.
