Emily Murphy was a trailblazing Canadian activist and the first woman appointed to a judicial position in Canada. A strong advocate for women's rights, particularly in the areas of voting rights and legal recognition, Murphy's tireless efforts led to significant changes in Canadian law. She played a key role in the famous "Person's Case," which allowed women to be recognized as persons under Canadian law. Murphy's courageous fight for equality and social justice continues to inspire activists and women around the world to stand up for their rights.

"It is claimed, but with what truth we cannot say, that there is a well-defined propaganda among the aliens of colour to bring about the degeneration of the white race."
