Not long after Susan Thompson became Mayor of Winnipeg in 1992, she was given official documents to sign. She immediately noticed "His Worship" printed on all the documents, to the left of where she was to sign her name... not "Her/His" Worship, just "His" Worship. Susan was taken aback that in this day and age, the document was printed in this manner. It was clear that absolutely no thought or consideration had been given to the fact that, at some point, the City of Winnipeg might have a woman as Mayor. She realized that if she requested a reprint of the documents, it would be perceived as an unnecessary expense... plus it would create "chatter." So Mayor Thompson settled the matter by simply crossing out HIS with a red marker and adding HER instead...hence the title of this book ...
