Gender equality is a foundational pillar of progressive and modern 21st century societies and it is clear that we have come a long way from where we were. More and more women have gone to school, there is greater agency for women, more women are advancing in the workplace and undertaking various forms of leadership, and legislative bodies have become more receptive to issues of inequality faced by women.[1] However, the landscape of equality remains rough terrain and there is still a long way to go, especially for women of colour and First Nations women. Just over 100 years ago, with the ratification of the 19th amendment of the US Constitution, women won their right to vote, with this amendment being particularly significant for women of colour. Although the earlier 15th amendment indicated voting rights despite race, they still could not vote due to their gender. The need for two constitutional amendments to allow women of colour to vote, aptly highlights the extra set of challenges women of colour face due to both their gender and race.[2] This notion can be seen especially in the modern workplace, where women have progressed far more than we have ever seen, but women of colour and Indigenous women continue to face various types of discrimination and are lagging far behind in this fight for equality.
