Former federal and Nova Scotia NDP leader Alexa McDonough is being remembered by former colleagues and the public as a trailblazer for women in politics.

The Canadian politician died this weekend at the age of 77 after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

McDonough was the first woman to lead a major political party in the country, leading the Nova Scotia NDP from 1980 to 1994 and the federal NDP from 1997 to 2002.

Eric Sorensen reports on her legacy and her impact on women’s rights in Canada.
