Synopsis: Examines Quebec women's political engagements from 1791 to the present. It traces the path that led to women achieving the right to vote and run for office and then explores why women, who represent a slight majority of Quebec's population, always form a minority in its parliamentary spaces. This innovative account not only documents the significant democratic deficit in Canada's parliamentary systems, it also outlines strategies to improve women's access to legislative representation.
