It is undeniable that the achievement of women’s suffrage was a huge success for both women and men across Canada - and while such a success is a result of hard work and petitioning, it is also a product of the external circumstances that made women’s suffrage an appealing prospect for both women and the men. These external circumstances contributed to the occurrence, setting and success of the suffrage movement in three ways: first, through the desire for women’s suffrage in the women themselves in accordance to Victorian beliefs, second, through the social status of the suffragettes, and third, through the issues of immigration, conscription and re-election in the Prairies, which made granting women the vote a favourable proposition for men in power.
