Though more than 60 years have passed since noted suffragist and member of the Famous 5, Nellie McClung, penned these words in her autobiography, they remain as relevant today as ever. When The Famous 5 — five courageous, idealistic women — stepped forward onto the world stage in 1929, challenging laws and convention to insist that women were indeed “persons”, they altered the world. Not only did they change all Commonwealth nations law to enable women to become Senators, they set a stirring example of the power of women who work together as leaders and nation builders. Inspired by their example, The Famous 5 Foundation seeks to help the current and the next generation of Canadian women to realize their vast potential for leadership and public service. We do this through the recognition and support of today and tomorrow’s women leaders. Our Vision: Every person is a nation builder. Our Mission: We are determined that women’s voices will be heard and celebrated, so that acts of courage continue in the legacy of the Famous 5. Our Values and Guiding Principles: Integrity, Honesty, Respect, Determination and Courage form the basis of all we do.
