Lola Lange

Lola M. Lange (1922–25 December 2013) was a Canadian rural feminist and a member of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women.

Deprived of her favorite pastimes, she took art classes and became involved in rural organizations such as 4-H and the Alberta Farm Wives' Union.

According to Lange, she was invited to join the commission through a surprise call to her home from Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson.

[1][3] Lange and Florence Bird also travelled to Canada's northern territories to interview indigenous Canadians for the project.

Her time away from home had a negative effect on her marriage, and she divorced her husband and took a job of her own shortly after returning to Alberta.
