In 1951, Thérèse Casgrain became the first woman to head a political party

The Famous Five - Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Henrietta Muir
Edwards, and Louise McKinney - triumphed in the "Persons" Case, one of the
most famous cases in Canadian legal history and one that had a profound impact
throughout the British Commonwealth. On 18 October 1929, the British Privy
Council declared that women are persons, thus making them eligible to be
summoned to and become members of the Senate of Canada.
