Give Your Other Vote to the Sister: 

A Woman's Journey into the Great War

by Debbie Marshall

Give Your Other Vote to the Sister tells the story of Roberta MacAdams, the first woman elected to the Alberta legislature. In fact, she was one of the first two women elected to a legislature anywhere in the British empire. Her triumph was extraordinary for many reasons. Not only did she run while serving as a nursing sister overseas during the Great War, but over 90 per cent of her electors were men Alberta soldiers stationed in England and in the muddy trenches of the Western Front.
