Interview conducted for the television series THE DAYS BEFORE YESTERDAY : STRUGGLE FOR NATIONHOOD, of Margaret Stewart, author of "Ask No Quarter", a biography of Agnes Macphail. Stewart provides background information about Agnes Macphail (1890-1954), the first woman Member of Parliament. She describes the newspaper reaction as negative and generally mean towards Macphail. Stewart describes the difficulties that Macphail had in achieving prison reform, from the first resolution made to Parliament in 1925 to the Archambault commission and final report in 1938. Stewart claims that Macphail admired Ernest Lapointe who assisted her in establishing the inquiry into prison reform, but she hated prison administrator Hugh Guthrie on sight. Steward talks about Macphail's accomplishments and her feminism. She says that J.S. Woodsworth was Macphail's political hero and that she was treated in a very courtly fashion by William Lyon Mackenzie King, who she could not stand. Stewart also talks about Macphail's political career in Ontario, which she considered a let-down from federal politics. <30mn>
