Charlotte

From the back cover: "Canada's woman newsmaker of the year six times during the 1950s and '60s, Charlotte Whitton made headlines regularly as mayor of Ottawa. But she was no stranger to the spotlight. Prior to becoming the first female mayor of a Canadian city, Charlotte had already made an international name for herself as a driving force in the developing field of social welfare. A determined feminist, Charlotte is famous for saying: "Whatever she does - Oh! doesn't every woman know it! - she must do twice as well as any man to be thought just half as good." It was this attitude that propelled her from humble beginnings in the Ottawa Valley to become an advisor to and combatant of legislators and policy makers, at home and around the world."
