international engineering firm: Q. Whats it been like, as a woman, rising up through the business ranks from an assistant to running the Toronto office of an international engineering firm as the Second World War was coming to an end, and then getting into politics?, according to The Star. When I ran in 78 as mayor of Mississauga, I believe the women played a large role in getting me elected. A lot changed over that decade. I know of many families where the husband was working for my opponent and the wife was working for me. In 10 years there was a difference. It just shows, you need women supporting women . . . both in the public sector and the private sector and A few weeks before she officially steps down after 36 years on the job, Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion sat down with to talk about the city shes built, working in a mans world, what she wishes she d done differently and what the future holds for this 93-year-old. The interview has been edited for length. A. Women have to work harder; theres no question about it. When I ran as deputy reeve of Streetsville in 1967, the women worked against me. They couldnt understand how a woman would want to get into a mans world, because the mayor and all the members of council were men. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
