I spent the majority of my working life with an organization for women; a private club for women with university degrees, founded in 1909, when higher education for women was uncommon. These women wanted to keep in touch after their graduations, not just for social occasions, but also to work for civil and social reform, to improve the lives of all women. I have been privileged to know some amazing women, among them a 93-year-old (retired) medical doctor who raised 7 children, the first female Professor of Architecture at the University of Manitoba, and one of the first women to earn her Master's at Oxford University, in the early 1920s, although she earned her Doctorate here in MB, as Oxford did not allow women into any of their doctoral programs. Each of these women and many more paved the way to where we are today. Yes, we still have a ways to go. But we have come so far. In the last 100 years or so, we've earned the vote, and the legal right to be recognized as persons , not property, the right to attend schools of our choice, in any program available. Today I salute the women I've known, professionally and personally, the women of my family, who've taught me, mother, sisters, aunts. I salute the young women I've raised, and am still raising. I also salute the men who've supported us, and stood with us, not in front, or behind, but beside. We have much to do, and much to be thankful for.
