The number of women sitting in the House of Commons increased to a new maximum during the 22nd Canadian Parliament; the number of women senators also increased. 47 women ran for seats in the Canadian House of Commons in the 1953 federal election; four were elected.
Two more women were named to the Canadian senate: Nancy Hodges in November 1953[1] and Florence Elsie Inman in July 1955,[2] bringing the total number of women senators to six. Senator Iva Campbell Fallis died in March 1956.[3]
