Who was the first woman MP (member of Parliament) in the House of Commons?

  1. Caroline Cochrane

  2. Nellie McClung

  3. Agnes Macphail

  4. Kim Campbell

The correct answer is: Agnes Macphail

Agnes Macphail was the first woman MP in the House of Commons, making her a significant figure in Canadian political history. Although some of the other choices, such as Caroline Cochrane and Kim Campbell, have also been influential women in politics, they were not the first female MPs. Nellie McClung, while a prominent figure in the fight for women's suffrage, was not a member of Parliament. Therefore, Agnes Macphail is the correct answer.
