Who was Dr. Emily Stowe?

  1. The first Canadian female prime minister

  2. The first Canadian woman to practise medicine in Canada

  3. The first Canadian woman astronaut

  4. The first Canadian female governor general

The correct answer is: The first Canadian woman to practise medicine in Canada

Dr. Emily Stowe was a Canadian suffragist, physician, and one of the first women to practice medicine in Canada. She paved the way for future female physicians and helped break barriers in the medical field for women. Although she was a notable figure in Canadian history, she was not the first female prime minister, astronaut, or governor general. Option A, C, and D are incorrect because they refer to different occupations and roles that Stowe did not hold.
