And this is Hannah who became famous as one of early pioneers of equality for women. All from simple beginnings in Netherton

Calgary Alberta News
When our 100th council is elected on Oct. 18, it will be an important milestone in our history. Our past is full of important landmark moments, including the historic December 1917 election that paved the way for women in Calgary’s municipal government.
Hannah Elizabeth Rolinson Gale, better known as Annie Gale, became the first woman in Canada and the British Commonwealth, to be elected to a position in any level of government. She served as alderman for The City of Calgary municipal council.
Annie was born in Netherton, West Midlands, England. She was one of the first women to take the Oxford Entrance Examinations in the early 1890s. Although she passed, women did not actually attend Oxford University at that time.
She later married an engineer, William Gale, and the couple decided to immigrate to Canada ( Following her sister who had travelled earlier). In 1912 with they arrived in Calgary with their two young sons.
Between 1912 and 1917, Annie became well-known for her volunteer work in Calgary. She was actively involved in the community, working to improve the quality and lower the cost of fresh vegetables, as well as issues related to the lack of affordable heat and free hospitals.
According to A Guide to Canadian Women in History The Canadian Magazine noted in a 1917 article about Annie, "She is exactly the type of woman who should be in public life--a feminine, gracious, magnetic personality without agression or bombast; a woman with a charming platform manner which does not come off the instant she reaches the bottom step and stands on the floor of the hall; the type of woman of whom the West is justly proud."
After women gained the right to vote in Alberta Anne ran in the 1917 city council election in Calgary. Remarkably, at a time when there were no women in government in Canada, Annie made history and won a seat.
She was determined to make changes and wasn’t one to shy away from controversy, saying, "I have always believed that the mission of women in political life was to clean-up politics."
During her three terms as alderman, Annie served on various committees and worked hard to reform prison conditions and establish municipally-owned hospitals. She resigned from council in 1923, and the next year was elected as a trustee to the Calgary School Board.

Calgary Board of Education "Annie Gale School"
The school was named for Annie Gale, born Hannah Rolinson on December 29, 1876, in Netherton, England. d moved to Calgary years earlier. Between 1912 and 1917 Annie became quite well known for her volunteer work in Calgary. On December 10, 1917, she was elected to the Calgary City Council as an alderman. This was a historic moment in Canadian history. Until her election, no woman in Canada had ever held an elected office at any level of government – not municipal, provincial, or federal. In 1924, she ran for and was elected as a trustee to the Calgary School Board. Annie Gale eventually moved to Vancouver and lived there until her death on August 7, 1970, at the age of 93.
