Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emily Murphy was a prominent Canadian suffragette and judge who played a significant role in the enactment of the Persons Case in 1929, which established that women were persons under Canadian law. However, she was also a proponent of the eugenics movement and held prejudiced beliefs about certain racial and ethnic groups. In her book "The Black Candle," she perpetuated stereotypes about black men and their supposed predilection for drug use and sexual promiscuity. Similarly, she believed that Chinese men were immoral and a threat to white women. These beliefs contributed to her support of restrictive immigration policies aimed at keeping out these and other groups deemed undesirable.
