Description
As the Canadian Navy celebrates its centennial, women have been a significant part of that legacy for 68 years. During that time they have experienced a gradual but determined struggle toward equality with their male counterparts. Following the outbreak of the Second World War, the navy was the last branch of the Canadian armed forces to accept women as recruits. Arguably, some long-held maritime traditions combined with other unique barriers to integrating female naval personnel prevented the Royal Canadian Navy from opening its doors to female recruits sooner.
