oct 18, 1929 - Persons Case
Description:
England's Privy Council rules that women are indeed "person", and therefore can be appointed to the Canadian Senate. The next year, Cairine Wilson becomes Canada's first woman senator. The British Privy Council reverses the Supreme Court decision of 1928, and women are legally declared "persons".Added to timeline:
