Collection: Mary Coyne Rowell Jackman
Description: This web site offers open access to a documentary exploring the life of Mary Coyne Rowell Jackman (1904-1994).

Collection: Women's History and Activism
Description: On February 14, 1981, over 1,000 women met on Parliament Hill in the nation’s capital to tell the government that Canada’s proposed new constitution was not good enough for women. The government had refused to support such a meeting, so on 3 weeks’ notice women organized it themselves. Known as the Ad Hoc Committee on Women and the Constitution of Canada, the resolutions passed by the women told the government how to strengthen the equality provisions. As the narrator to the film says, they gave a big “heave-ho” to the status quo. The government agreed to add s. 28 to the Constitution of Canada, which came into force on April 17, 1982: “Notwithstanding anything in this Charter, the rights and freedoms referred to in it are guaranteed equally to male and female persons.”
