	Station Information - Maureen McTeer
		Maureen Anne McTeer (born February 27, 1952) is an author and a lawyer, and the wife of Joe Clark, the 16th Prime Minister of Canada.
		When Clark became leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in 1976, McTeer became controversial -- feminism still being a relatively new social phenomenon at that time -- for keeping her own surname and attempting to maintain her own career.
		In the 1988 federal election, McTeer ran as a Progressive Conservative candidate in Ottawa; however, she was not elected.

	CSA News Issue 50 Spring 2004 - Book Review
		In turn, Maureen was a fierce champion for her Joe, and always an active campaigner, much more than "the discreet little woman." For instance, the PC party leadership convention in 1983 was a real pressure-cooker.
		Maureen's immediate reaction (with a boom mike over her head) was to ask Doug Bassett to..."Get this stupid bastard out of here!" Of course the final outcome was that Crosbie "released his people"--Mulroney became PC party leader and went on to become prime minister.
		Nevertheless, McTeer philosophizes that "Life is not a popularity contest, but a puzzle and a maze." She wishes to be remembered as having left her own mark on the paths she has travelled and the people she has touched.

	Biography of Maureen McTeer
		Her candid recounting of her many life experiences has inspired thousands of Canadian women and girls; and has made her a popular speaker on subjects as varied as women’s continuing challenges to balance their personal and professional lives and the role of women in public and corporate life in Canada.
		To add to this major accomplishment, in January, 2004, Maureen graduated with a Masters degree in biotechnological law and ethics from the University of Sheffield in the UK, where she had spent last year as both a visiting research fellow and graduate student.
		Finally, her ongoing focus on women’s equality and health makes her a passionate and informed speaker on such topics as women and development, democracy and institution-building; women’s health, the education of girls; and local and international empowerment of women in the developing world.

		Author and medical law specialist Maureen McTeer struck a cord with her audience when she talked about reproductive technologies and rights at this year's Florence Bird lecture on March 20.
		In her lecture, Women and the Commercialisation of Life: From Surrogacy to Genetic Patenting and the Harvard Mouse, McTeer said new developments in science are opening the door to new and different forms of discrimination against women.
		McTeer stressed the question of whether it is possible to keep children and women from becoming just products in an age where women can be paid for being surrogates.

		McTeer’s repeated statement that once a product is patented it is therefore "owned" -- legally, patenting a technology or product does not equal ownership.
		Another important distinction, not made by McTeer, is that it is not legally possible to patent any life form as it occurs in nature (in other words, it is not possible to patent biological processes).
		But, McTeer’s suggestion that cloning human life forms is a likely practice to come out of the Harvard Mouse decision is simply incorrect.

		Maureen McTeer was a strong-minded feminist who created a scandal by being the first prime minister's wife to have kept her own last name when she married.
		This of course sparked further reactions and accusations of Maureen abandoning her child, but Maureen said she felt Catherine was being spoiled by the staff at home, so she would be better off in professional care.
		McTeer says many women felt for the first time "they were being offered the choice of an enlightened leader," who was not afraid to have a strong wife.

	FFWD Weekly - January 15, 2004
		Long before Hillary Rodham Clinton successfully ran for the U.S. Senate, Maureen McTeer was quietly redefining the role of the political wife in Canada.
		But McTeer, born in 1952, challenged social protocol and, in her words, "became a feminist before it was fashionable." In 1973, in the face of vicious public outcry, McTeer kept her surname when she married Clark and chose to pursue her own career.
		Raised by Irish-Canadian parents just east of Ottawa, McTeer’s political awareness was shaped by her mixed Protestant-Catholic ancestry, combined with her father’s battles to enroll his English-speaking children in a French school.

		Now 51, McTeer describes her book as marking "the first half of my life's journey." If she pens a sequel to this chronicle, she may feel less constrained to suppress the personal and political frustrations that so obviously simmer beneath the pages of an effort verging on the circumspect.
		When Joe Clark was prime minister, a friend asked McTeer why she didn't assume the Clark name, why she didn't wish to bask in reflected glory after years of tiresome political toil.
		As McTeer recounts the milestones of her life, lack of independence is never, for her, an option.
