English: The Canadian federal election of 1921 was held on December 6, 1921 to elect members of the Canadian House of Commons of the 14th Parliament of Canada. The Union government that had governed Canada through the First World War was defeated, and replaced by a Liberal government under the young leader William Lyon Mackenzie King. A new third party, the Progressive Party of Canada, won the second most seats in the election. The election was the first in which the majority of Canadian women were allowed to vote, thanks to reforms passed by the Conservatives. Four women also ran for office. Agnes Macphail of the Progressive Party was elected as the first woman MP in Canada.
