1918 - Women gain the right to vote in Canada except for Quebec.
In 1918, women in Canada were given the right to vote in federal elections, with the exception of Quebec.
This was the result of a long struggle by the suffragette movement, which had been campaigning for the right of women to vote since the 19th century.
In 1916, Manitoba was the first province to give women the right to vote in provincial elections.
In 1917, Saskatchewan and Alberta followed suit, and in 1918, the federal government passed the Military Voters Act, which granted women the right to vote.
This paved the way for the federal law in 1918, which gave the vote to all women except those in Quebec.
Quebec was the last province to grant women the right to vote in provincial elections, granting them the right in 1940.
Finally, in 1949, the federal government passed the Franchise Act, which granted full voting rights to all women in Canada, regardless of province.
