Chatelaine’s Women of the Year 2015

I loved reading about inspirational Canadian women in this article. There are a few I was definitely really impressed with this year, namely Mrs. Universe Ashley Callingbull and Green Party of Canada leader Elizabeth May. But my favourite quote from this listicle was about 94 year old landscape architect Cornelia Hahn Oberlander, about her success: “What’s her secret? The “5 Ps” that have guided her six-decade plus career: patience, persistence, politeness, passion and professionalism.”
Sounds like a brilliant concept to bring into 2016.
 
Who are some women who inspired you this year?  What lessons have you learned from them that you will be carrying into 2016?
