Jessie Kirk
Jessie Lennox Kirk (1877 — 2 December 1965) was a Canadian alderwoman. In 1920, Kirk became the first ever woman to be elected in the Winnipeg City Council. After her defeat in 1922, she ran for re-election multiple times from the 1920s to 1940s but did not win back her seat. Apart from her municipal career, Kirk was the nominee of the Dominion Labour Party for the 1920 Manitoba general election but was replaced due to the Winnipeg general strike. Provided by Wikipedia-
