Nellie Letitia McClung (born Helen Letitia Mooney; 20 October 1873 – 1 September 1951), was a Canadian author, social activist, suffragette, and politician. She was a part of the social and moral reform movements prevalent in Western Canada in the early 1900s. Her great causes were women's suffrage and the temperance. It was largely through her efforts that in 1916 Manitoba became the first province to give women the right to vote and to run for public office.
In 1927, McClung and four other women: Henrietta Muir Edwards, Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney and Irene Parlby who together came to be known as The Famous Five (also called "The Valiant Five") launched "the Persons Case," contending that women could be "qualified persons," therefore eligible to sit in the Senate. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the current law did not recognize women as such. However, the case was won upon appeal to the Judicial Committee of the British Privy Council—the court of last resort for Canada at that time." - Wikipedia Page (to edit)
Nellie McClung Mooney was born at Chatsworth, Ontario in 1873, the youngest daughter of John Mooney, an Irish immigrant farmer and a Methodist, and his Scottish-born wife, Letitia McCurdy. Her father's farm failed and the family moved to Manitoba in 1880. She received six years of formal education and did not learn to read until she was nine. She later moved with her family to a homestead in the Souris Valley of Manitoba.

20 October 1873, Chatsworth, ON 1 September 1951, Victoria, BC Name at birth: Letitia Ellen Mooney
Note
Letitia Ellen Mooney, better known as "Nellie," was the youngest of seven children born to an Irish immigrant farmer and his Scottish-born wife. In 1880, Nellie moved with her family from Chatsworth, ON, to a homestead in Manitoba. Spending her childhood on the prairie shaped her imagination and character, as did her education at the Winnipeg Normal School and her teaching experiences. After graduating from normal school in 1889, she taught in rural areas until 1896 when she married pharmacist Robert Wesley McClung (1871-1958). The couple settled in Manitou, Manitoba, eventually having five children. In Manitou, she wrote her first novel, Sowing Seeds in Danny (1908), which originated as a short story composed for a magazine contest and established themes that were carried throughout her body of work—temperance, liberal Protestantism, and feminism.
In 1911, the McClungs moved to Winnipeg, where Nellie helped to organize the Political Equality League and was active in the Women's Christian Temperance Union and the Women's Missionary Society. She also became involved in the fight for women's suffrage, writing the script for the Women's Parliament, a burlesque performed at Winnipeg's Walker Theatre in 1914, in which she played the Premier. After moving to Alberta in 1914, she was elected to the provincial assembly in 1921, although she lost the position in 1926. In 1927, she established the Calgary chapter of the Canadian Women's Press Club, and she was friends with such prominent figures as E. Cora Hind, Pauline Johnson, Agnes Laut, and Laura Goodman Salverson. She was a member of the "Famous Five," the group of women who fought for, and in 1929 won, political recognition of women as "persons," and thus the right to become members of the Canadian Senate. In 2009, these five (Nellie McClung, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Louise McKinney, Irene Parlby, and Emily Murphy) were posthumously given honourary membership in the Canadian Senate.
After Nellie McClung published the first volume of her autobiography, Clearing in The West (1935), she moved with her husband to Victoria, BC. Here, she became the first woman member of the board of governors of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and in 1938 served as a Canadian delegate to the League of Nations. McClung also wrote a syndicated newspaper column at this time, eventually retiring from public life in 1943 due to illness; she died in 1951 in Victoria, BC. In 1954, she was designated a "Person of National Historical Significance" by the Government of Canada for her social and political activism.
