Women to Know
A curated collection of profiles across law, business, healthcare, research, energy, Indigenous development, sport, and civil society. We select each profile because the woman’s work offers something useful to Canadian readers - whether that is a clear perspective, original research, or on-the-ground expertise. We describe each woman by her field and contribution, and only describe someone as conservative if she has publicly identified that way.
