The two Canadian women I . will be comparing are Emily Stowe and Agnes MacPhail. The criteria will :be comparing these two women on is personal facts, accomplishments and contributions. Emily Stowe .is eldest of six daughters and was born in, Brantford., Ontario. This lady had always been, determined to be someone and had faith and courage in what she was trying to accomplish. Emily Stowe taught school in Norwich, Ontario begin- ning at the age of 15. After teaching at Norwich she went to Brantford and became the first woman Principal. Emily Stowe also organized a Women's Liberation Club and also got women to be allowed 'into Canadian Medical Schools. She also helped make the law so womencan vote and:. have other rights just like men. Therefore" I.think Emily Stowe played a major role in women's liberation. Agnes MacPhail was born in Grey County, Ontario. Agnes MacPhail attended teacher's college. She was also involved in many community activities. This lady was very determined at her work.: Agnes MacPhail was the first woman to run for office and actually get into the. Canadian Parliament. This lady improved jailing conditions and made a major breakthrough in parliament and_ set standards that women can do anything men can and win! Therefore I think Agnes MacPhail proved that if you work hard enough at something you will get it. I> think that Emily Stowe was an out- standing woman. She was able to get a law so women could vote and have equal rights as men,. Agnes MacPhail also contributed something -very important to ; Canadian History, she broke through history so women could -run for office. If I had to choose between these two women I would choose Emily Stowe because I think maybe if she hadn't done what she had for women we still .might not be able to vote and have equal rights like we ;do today.

Everyone l think put seine . extra thought into writing speeches. Four people were picked from our class to go up on stage, they were all very good. I like writing speeches, but it is not my favorite topic in school. Picking a topic seems to be the hardest -.thing about speech writing. You try to pick out a .topic that you • find interesting and that the audience will enjoy, and not get bored. It takes so much energy to construct a speech. It's not something that just comes like that. Careful planning.. and: organization does it all. It takes a lot of courage for a person to go up and say,a„ speech in front of gazing people, courage to stand and say a 3 to 5 minute speech. It nilist of taken a Jot of courage out of Jackie Robinson, a famous black baseball player: to go out:.in front 'of. crowds and crowds of white p. eopie. Getting teased: and called names, just because he was black. He had courage, as a aublc speaker, have, Courage and faith in Yourself', and your life, will go On. Sharon Askes, Grade '8.
