Iva Campbell Fallis

Iva Campbell Fallis was born on a Northumberland County farm near Castledon, ON June 23, 1883.

Fallis was the daughter of Jessie Stewart and Michael John Doyle, the warden of the county.

[1] Fallis believed that men and women both had the responsibility to join the government in order to seek change.

She once said that her aim was to "show Father Parliament that the women of his household should be expected to share the duties and responsibilities of government with their brothers.

She believed that "[women] stand on [their] merits" and that she had "never seen a particle of discrimination"[2] during her years working in the Senate.
