Elizabeth Carmichael Monk QC (August 4, 1898 – December 26, 1980) was a Canadian lawyer and Montreal city councillor.

[2] She won the IODE overseas post-graduate scholarship for the province of Quebec and proceeded to study at Somerville College in Oxford.

At the time, women could not vote or run for public office in Quebec, which made them ineligible for federal positions, even though they were subject to the same civic duties as men such as paying taxes.

She concluded her report by calling on the Canadian government to include a declaration in the Constitution that explicitly condemned discrimination on the basis of gender and ethnicity.

[9][11] On January 13, 1942, Elizabeth Monk became one of the first two women admitted to the Quebec Bar, alongside Suzanne Raymond Filion, nearly 20 years after she had received her law degree.

[12] At the time, however, one of Monk's colleagues from Vallée Viens Beaudry & Fortier was representing a client in a lawsuit against the city.

[1][15] In 2019, Monk was designated an historic personage by Nathalie Roy, Quebec's Minister of Culture and Communications.
