Description
Norma Gauld is a Senior Reference Librarian, Reference and Information Services, National Library of Canada. She co-ordinated the research for the National Library's electronic resource: "Then & Now: Women in Canadian Legislatures." It is available on the Internet at http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/digiproj/women/women97/ewomen97.htm. The author gratefully acknowledges the assistance of several colleagues with research and editing. In recognition of Women's History Month in October 1997 the National Library of Canada launched a project featuring historical and biographical information about 20 women who have made significant contributions to Canada's history by holding elected office at the federal and provincial levels. This article looks at the development of female representation in Canada and particularly progress accomplished during the last 20 years.
