Mila was a radical change from the recent prime minister’s wives—the ardently feminist Maureen McTeer and the “wild child,” Margaret Trudeau. Being a stay-at-home mom, she greatly appealed to that demographic, especially in her responses to criticism from prominent feminists (including, in 1987, remarks from Sheila Copps). Many PC campaign buttons featured both Mulroney’s face and hers, and Ontario Premier Bill Davis commented to Brian, “Mila will get you more votes for you than you will for yourself.” Maureen Anne McTeer (born February 27, 1952 in Ottawa) is an author and a lawyer, and the wife of Joe Clark, the 16th Prime Minister of Canada. ...

She took on a greater role than many Prime Ministers’ wives while Brian was in office, acting as a campaigner for several children’s charities. Her role, which some claimed was trying to become a “First Lady,” was criticized (especially when she hired a personal office and staff). Her frequent shopping sprees became tabloid fodder, with some in the press dubbing her “Imelda” for her love of shoes (she allegedly had over 100 pairs).^[2] This article is about the use of the term first lady internationally. ...
