Thank you very much, Sylvia, for that comment.
Louise, my apologies. Perhaps I didn't provide enough examples from your book in referencing these negative experiences. The Atlantic women pointed to the fate of the only female prime minister, Kim Campbell, who lasted less than five months, and who was set up, as they saw it, to be the fall guy. They cited the battering of former Liberal cabinet minister Jane Stewart, knocked down by media during the Human Resources and Development Canada scandals as she took heat for a male predecessor, and the sympathy for MP Elsie Wayne of Saint John, criticized by the national media for her sweaters, of all things, purchased in New Brunswick.
One woman said, “The store that sells her clothing was very put out. They said she dresses very classical”, so no further comments on that.
