Woodsworth), the first leader of Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF, later the New Democratic Party), and Lucy Lillian Staples Woodsworth.

Her mother, Lucy, was a teacher and a loving mother to her children, also was known as an liberated thinker who taught her children about birth control, which was illegal at that time.
