Marriage
If a woman's husband decided to enfranchise, her status (along with their children if they have any) will be revoked regardless of what she (and their children) wants.
Indian women would lose their status if they married a non-Indian man (their children would not have the status of an Indian either), whereas men would get to keep their status even if they married a non-Indian woman.
If a woman's Indian husband dies she would lose her own status, unless she married another Indian man.
Women were not allowed to vote in the band council elections until 1951.
When a man is enfranchised he receives a plot of land. Women, on the other hand, do not.

1967 Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada This Commission was created to recommend what steps can be taken by the federal government to ensure that women have equal oppurtunities in all aspects of society. Without feminist activists, this commission may have never existed. These women were tired of living with their unequal status and knew that Canada would be a lot better if women were able to thrive, without limits.

Gender Wage Gap The Gender Wage Gap is the average difference between men and women's salaries. Women were and are more likely to be paid less by their employers even if they are doing the same job as the men they work with. This is still a problem today and only now, after so many years, is it being addresses.
The Glass Ceiling This a term that is used to represent the invisible barrier that is stopping women from reaching/going above a certain level in the workspace. An example of this is being denied a promotion even though you have all of the qualifications, just because you are a woman.
During the War Up until the War women rarely had jobs. After the War began, more and more men were leaving to go to the battlefield so women had to step in to do their jobs. They had to learn how to do all the "manly jobs", for example, a mechanic. Although the circumstances were not ideal, it was great that the women were finally able to work.
Some women went against the "traditional" ways that other women lived. These women would either go to college and very few of them got jobs. Women that did go to college were often pressured into careers that would help them be better housewives, for example, interior decorating and family finance.
"Modern mothers" were supposed to be the "ideal woman". These women would not have: a) Jobs b) Friends c) Anything else that could be distracting from their household duties or families.
