Alberta's Famous Five - Henrietta Muir Edwards, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, Emily Murphy, and Irene Parlby - helped guarantee that women are represented in all levels of Canadian politics.
The Famous Five (a group of women who fought for women's rights in Canada) first met in 1927 at a dinner party hosted by Judge Emily Murphy in Edmonton, Alberta. The group consisted of Emily Murphy, Irene Marryat Parlby, Nellie Mooney McClung, Louise Crummy McKinney, and Henrietta Muir Edwards.
