Abstract
Sophia Dixon is a Danish immigrant to Canada who became a
Woman President of the Uni ted Farmers of Canada (Saskatchewan
Section). Because she filled this office when the organization
was going into politics, Dixon was involved with the beginning
of the C.C.F. She was always idealistic and thoughtful,
earning herself a reputation as a philosopher for her ideas.
Her ideas sometimes reflect the era she lived in, and sometimes
seem advanced. Her experiences in the decades after women
received the vote taught her that women are vulnerable living
by men's rules and underlined for her the need to change the
rules by which society operates .
