SYNOPSIS: On December 9, 1998, proceedings in the House of Commons came to a shocking halt when the Liberal MP for Windsor-St. Clair, Shaughnessy Cohen, collapsed on the floor of the chamber. The outpouring of grief that followed her death - from the prime minister, from politicians of every party, even from seasoned press gallery journalists - caught those beyond the hothouse of Parliament Hill by surprise. Who was this woman, an apparently obscure second-term backbencher, who commanded such respect and affection? Shaughnessy Cohen's story is one that Canadians rarely see up close: the roller-coaster career of a politician who operates outside the spotlight reserved for cabinet ministers, whose hectic life is divided between the nation's capital and a modest constituency office back home, whose only national coverage might be found in the barbed satire of Frank magazine. But to those who knew her, the 50-year-old Cohen - born into an Irish Catholic family, married to a Jewish academic - was an exceptional and unforgettable figure. A criminal lawyer who, like the city she represented, enjoyed a slightly naughty, good-time reputation, Shaughnessy Cohen learned how to use a woman's style of politics to succeed in an old boys' world. When she arrived in Ottawa in 1993, she was unapologetically partisan and fiercely ambitious, carefully cultivating ties with power brokers like Paul Martin, Allan Rock, Herb Gray, and Lloyd Axworthy. And she was notoriously indiscreet; even the Prime Minister's Office could not quiet "Radio Shaughnessy" when the Liberal caucus was warring within itself over gun control or gay rights. But by the time of her death, she had served as an MP for five years, surviving the infighting of Windsor politics to win her seat in two elections, learning sometimes painful lessons as a parliamentary rookie, and finally finding her niche as the much-admired chair of the Justice Committee, where she juggled conflicting interests over victims' rights and youth justice. Eventually she developed a signature style - reaching across barriers that stopped others - that was as subtle as it was effective. To watch her in the corridors of power is to go inside the nomination battles, the caucus meetings, and the committee rooms where the unseen drama of the nation's politics is played out, and to understand, perhaps in a way that has never before been so fully revealed, the inescapable realities and hard choices that confront a woman in political life. Susan Delacourt was a parliamentary correspondent for the Globe and Mail for ten years. In her sixteen years with the Globe she also served on the editorial board, won the paper's Stanley McDowell Award for writing excellence, and was nominated for a National Newspaper Award for her coverage of the Meech Lake accord. In 1993 she published United We Fall, a critically acclaimed account of the Charlottetown constitutional talks. Now a columnist for the Ottawa Citizen, she lives in Ottawa.
