		They have won just one Cup in the last ten years, and an inspection of their roster suggests that they could use a Rembrandt or two to supplement a generous supply of housepainters.

		There she met Angus MacInnis, a Labour MP from Vancouver, who soon became her spouse and one of the founders of the CCF.
		Although she did not consider herself a feminist as the only woman elected in 1968 and one of only a handful of women elected in 1965 and 1972, MacInnis believed it was important to champion what many considered women's issues: abortion law reform, access to day care, and improved protection for consumers.
		More than a tribute to one woman, Grace contributes significantly to our understanding of the role of women in Canadian politics and is a wealth of information on the evolution of the CCF and NDP.

	globeandmail.com: No. 8: Grace MacInnis
		As the eldest of six children born to the founder of Canada's first socialist party, Grace MacInnis earned the nickname ''yeller baby'' because of her skill at grabbing attention in her rambunctious, politically pedigreed family.
		MacInnis told her biographer that party leader David Lewis preferred to dodge the abortion issue.
		MacInnis refused to call herself a feminist because she preferred to be seen as someone "coming up from the middle." Being labelled a feminist would make it easier for people to dismiss her causes, she said, and she thought it was politically wise to keep the ear of men in power.
