Historia biográfica
Emily Ferguson was born on 14 Mar 1868, near Cookstown, Ontario. In 1887 she married the Reverend Arthur Murphy, and in 1907, they and their children moved to Edmonton. Mrs. Murphy was a successful author of books and articles under the pen-name of Janey Canuck including the 1922 monograph Black Candle about drug use in Canada. In 1916 she became the first woman police magistrate in the British Empire. She held numerous executive positions on many women's social, professional, and political organizations and she campaigned tirelessly for numerous social and family welfare issues. She led the successful movement for legal recognition of women as persons in Canada, known as "the Persons Case".
Emily Murphy died in 1933.
