Thérèse Casgrain

Thérèse Casgrain was a Canadian feminist, reformer, politician and senator. She was born in Montreal, Canada on July 10, 1896. She was part of the Co-operative Commonwealth and Part Social democratique du Quebec. As an iconic feminist, she wrote a very outstanding book called A Women In a Man´s World. In 1982 the Liberal government Pierre Trudeau introduced the Thérèse Casgrain Volunteer Award in her honour. It was then killed out by Stephen Harper while he served as Prime Minister. However, after the Liberal win, the rules are changing and the award is coming back to action!
