Lorna Rasmussen & Anne Wheeler, 1975, 28 min 47 s
This short film is an ode to the women who settled
the Prairies, from the days of early immigration to
1916 - when Manitobans became the first women in
Canada to receive the provincial vote - and beyond.
Recollections of women are complemented by a series
of quotations drawn from letters, diaries, and
newspapers of the day, which are spoken over
re-enacted scenes and archival photographs.
