For more than 100 years, Canadian women have been struggling for equal access to education. Herstory has recorded a few of the “firsts” in that struggle. Although we know the names of these women because they were first, many others, whose names we have forgotten, persisted in the struggle. To them modern women owe their opportunities to study where they please.
