Kim Campbell:
The keener who broke down barriers
Written by Heather Grace Stewart
Illustrated by Thomas Dannenberg
Kim Campbell understood that she was a political pawn, but she played the game her way. She never did stand much of a chance to be elected prime minister — but what a statement she made simply by being in charge for those four months in 1993!
Being the first female prime minister made her very popular. For a while, it seemed she might overcome the bad reputation the Conservative party had earned during Brian Mulroney’s term. Some people say that her biggest blunder was listening to her political handlers. A Liberal landslide swept the Conservatives from power and Campbell quickly resigned as party leader.
From her first elected position to her resignation and beyond, Kim showed us that a woman can rise to power and play the political game as capably as any man.
