Letter from Violet, A

“A Letter from Violet” is dedicated to the memory of Violet McNaughton, a Saskatchewan woman who was instrumental in women getting the vote in the province in 1916. Violet saw the vote as a tool towards social reform rather than the ultimate goal. She lived by the motto “the welfare of each is the concern for all” and firmly believed in both the equality of the sexes and the need for men and women to work together.
