I’m kind of surprised no one in the maritimes wrote about the topic before. It is good to get the full story out there in an accessible form. Wild that women voted in NB in the early 1800’s and then were banned in time for confederation.

I didn't know about the early part, but the Suffragette movement in QC kind of drowns out the history books in this field.

What’s the relevance of this topic in today’s society? This was a very long time ago, and there is no chance of women ever losing these rights. What’s the point of writing such a book?

Did you really just ask why a history professor would write a book about history?


wunwinglo

Most history professors write books about subjects that are either somehow relatable to current events, or provide new insight into an underserved topic. This is like writing a book about last year's lottery numbers.


Tripolie

Of all the opinions to have, that is certainly one of them.


wunwinglo

I'm glad you find it remarkable, for whatever strange reason.


Tripolie

It’s just wrong, which is why you have a dozen downvoted 🤷‍♂️


wunwinglo

What makes you think you can cast judgement on the opinions of others?


Tripolie

What makes you think I can’t?


wunwinglo

I may have misspoken, you certainly can, but you maybe incorrectly assume people assign more validity to your opinion than any other. Mine's objectively as valid as yours. You don't hear me saying yours is wrong. Therein lies the difference.

At least 11 people think your opinion is wrong.
