The Famous Five, a group of Canadian women including Emily Murphy and Nellie McClung, sought to change the laws to secure legal recognition of women as "persons" under Canadian law. Their efforts were aimed at challenging the prevailing gender discrimination that prevented women from fully participating in public and political life. By advocating for this change, they aimed to promote gender equality and ensure that women could hold public office and be recognized in legal contexts. Their landmark victory in the Persons Case of 1929 was a significant milestone in the fight for women's rights in Canada.
