Flora MacDonald was Canada’s first female foreign minister, and among the first women to seek the leadership of a major political party. She served in the cabinets of Joe Clark and Brian Mulroney, and was perhaps the most successful female politician of her day. The Graham Centre is proud to launch her posthumous autobiography, Flora! A Woman in a Man's World, with coauthor Geoff Stevens and family member Linda Grearson, along with commentators the Rt. Hon. Joe Clark, Carole MacNeil, and John English.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Flora Isabel MacDonald - politician, humanitarian, adventurer, and role model for a generation of women - was known across Canada and beyond simply as Flora. In her memoir, co-authored by award-winning journalist and author Geoffrey Stevens, she tells her personal story for the very first time. Flora! describes her amazing journey from her childhood and her time at secretarial school in Cape Breton, through her years in backroom Progressive Conservative politics, to elected office and her appointment as Canada’s first female minister of foreign affairs. Finally, she details her exceptional humanitarian work in India and in war-torn Africa and Afghanistan.
