List of women appointed to the Canadian Senate information
Women have served in the Canadian Senate since Senator Cairine Wilson was first appointed to the Senate by the government of Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King in 1930.[1] Since then, women have represented every province and territory in the Senate except for Nunavut.
Women won the right to be appointed to the Senate in 1929 due to the Famous Five Persons Case (Edwards v Canada (AG)).
