A new storefront in Calgary is using satirical, political and feminist-inspired clothing to bring awareness to the lack of women in politics and other traditionally male-dominated spaces. Activist brand Madame Premier launched online just before the federal election in 2019. "Politics to this day in all its forms is still a very typically male-dominated environment," she told the Calgary Eyeopener on Friday. Madame Premier started when Elder-Chamanara sat on the board of Ask Her YYC and pitched the idea as a fundraiser in 2018. There have been 12 "madame premiers" in Canada.
