No second chances : women and political power in Canada / by Graham, Kate,1984-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."As of 2021, only thirteen women had reached Canada's top political posts, elected or appointed provincial premier or prime minister. They have represented all three main political parties and served across provinces and territories from coast to coast to coast.

This book is based on interviews conducted for the Canada 2020 No Second Chances podcast. Graham provides readers with a rare glimpse into the lives of female political leaders and examines why more women have not played this role in Canada from the perspectives of the women who know this story best."--

Together, Bruce and Vicki opened their hearts to Canada and helped unite two countries that share so much more than just a border.
