Canadian author and women's liberation movement leader. Born in Chatsworth, Ontario, she moved to Manitoba at a young age. She married in 1898 and published her first novel, Danny's Sow, in 1908, which was a success, and she published a series of novels. At the same time, she was an active voice in the movement for political and legal equality for women through her activities in the Women's Christian Temperance Union. The women's liberation movement in Canada began to gain momentum at the end of the 19th century, but the First World War led to a decline in the number of male workers, and women began to enter male workplaces. The movement for full suffrage for women also became active, and suffrage was granted in all provinces except Quebec between 1916 and 1922. McClung, who had moved to Alberta in 1914, was elected as a member of the Alberta Legislative Assembly from 1921 to 1926. She also filed a lawsuit with E. Murphy and others, arguing that the term "person" in the British North America Act included women, and won the case in 1929. Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
カナダの作家,女性解放運動指導者。オンタリオ州チャッツワースに生まれ,幼時にマニトバ州に移る。1898年結婚,1908年に最初の小説《ダニーの種まき》を書いて成功を収め,つぎつぎと作品を発表した。同時に女性キリスト者禁酒連合での活動を通じて女性の政治的・法的平等を求め,盛んに論陣を張った。カナダにおける女性解放運動は19世紀末から高まりを見せはじめたが,第1次世界大戦により男性労働者が減少した結果,男性の職場にも女性労働者が進出,女性の全面的な参政権を求める運動も活発になり,1916年−1922年の間にケベックを除く全州で参政権が認められた。1914年にアルバータ州に移っていたマックラングは,1921年−1926年アルバータ州議会議員に選出されている。またE.マーフィらとともに,イギリス領北アメリカ法にいう〈パーソンperson(人物)〉は女性を含むものであるとの訴えを起こし,1929年勝訴した。
