" Clarkson was the first governor general in Canadian history without either a political or military background, as well as the first Asian-Canadian and the second woman, following on Jeanne Sauvé.

Jeanne Mathilde Sauvé ( née Benoît, April 26, 1922January 26, 1993 ) was a Canadian journalist, politician, and stateswoman who served as Governor General of Canada, the 23rd since Canadian Confederation.

Sauvé was born in Saskatchewan and educated in Ottawa and Paris, prior to working as a journalist for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ( CBC ).

She was the first woman to serve as Canada's governor general and, while her appointment as the Queen's representative was initially and generally welcomed, Sauvé caused some controversy during her time as vicereine, mostly due to increased security around the office, as well as an anti-monarchist attitude towards the position.

On November 27, 1972, Sauvé was sworn into the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, giving her the accordant style of The Honourable ; however, as a former governor general of Canada, Sauvé was entitled to be styled for life with the superior form of The Right Honourable.

Sauvé was born in the Fransaskois community of Prud ' homme, Saskatchewan, to Charles Albert Benoît and Anna Vaillant, and three years later moved with them to Ottawa, where her family had previously lived and her father would take her to see the bronze bust on Parliament Hill of Canada's first female Member of Parliament ( MP ), Agnes Macphail.

Two years later, they moved to Paris, where Sauvé was employed as the assistant to the director of the Youth Secretariat at UNESCO, and in 1951 she enrolled for one year at the Sorbonne, graduating with a degree in French civilization.

Sauvé then became a founding member of the Institute of Political Research and was hired as a journalist and broadcaster with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's French-language broadcaster, Radio-Canada.

After success on her first radio programme, Fémina, Sauvé was moved to CBC television and focused her efforts on covering political topics on both radio and television, in both English and French.

This absorption of a woman into the traditionally male world of political journalism and commentary was unusual, and Sauvé managed to be taken seriously, even having her own television show, Opinions, which covered " such taboo subjects as teenage sex, parental authority, and student discipline.

It was the Liberal Party that wooed Sauvé into politics, asking her to run as a candidate in the Montreal riding of Ahuntsic during the 1972 federal election.

I must say I had qualms about it myself " Sauvé won, becoming one of five woman MPs, and was subsequently was sworn into the Queen's Privy Council and appointed as Minister of State for Science and Technology in the Cabinet chaired by Pierre Trudeau.

Sauvé ran again in the election two years later, re-winning Ahuntsic, and was given the environment portfolio before replacing it in 1975 with that for communications.

Because she strongly desired to campaign for the " No " forces in the weeks leading up to Quebec's 1980 referendum on separation from Canada, Sauvé initially refused the offer of running for the non-partisan position, but eventually acquiesced after Trudeau convinced her that she was the right person for the job and she received permission from the leaders of all the parties in the House of Commons to engage in the federalist campaign in Quebec.

Sauvé was lauded, by MPs and the media alike, for her courage in challenging the establishment.

Despite pressure from the government that she intervene to break the deadlock, Sauvé maintained that it was up to the parties to resolve it themselves through negotiation.

Sauvé was the first female governor general in Canada's history, and only the second woman amongst all the Commonwealth realms both previous and contemporary to the time to assume the equivalent office, after Elmira Minita Gordon, who was in 1981 appointed Governor-General of Belize.
