She wasn't the first woman to be elected - Lady Astor was the first to take her seat in 1919, check here:- http://www.learningcalendar.com/this_day_in_history/days_template.cfm?history_id=55589
However, even she wasn't the 1st to be elected - that was the Countess de Markievicz but she did not take her seat - see:- http://www.parliament.uk/parliamentary_publications_and_archives/parliamentary_archives/archives___the_first_women_in_parliament_1919_1945.cfm
I cannot even find the name of the good Ms Macphail - see:- http://www.parliament.uk/commons/lib/m04b.pdf
