Madeleine Parent (June 23, 1918 – March 12, 2012) was a Canadian labour, feminist and aboriginal rights activist.[1][2] Her achievements included her work in establishing the Canadian Textile and Chemical Union and the Confederation of Canadian Unions alongside her partner and fellow trade unionist Kent Rowley. She was a prominent figure in the 1946 Montreal Cottons strike. Retiring from union work in 1983 to Montréal, Parent continued her social activist role, focusing on women's rights. She became a founding member of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAC) and has played an active role in addressing issues faced by immigrant and Aboriginal women.[3]
In 1955, she was arrested for seditious conspiracy by the government of Maurice Duplessis. After a six-month incarceration, she was acquitted.[4]
