In 1991, Judeline (Judi) Tyabji was the youngest MLA ever elected to the B.C. Legislature; she was also the first MLA to give birth while in office. After six years as an MLA, Tyabji (b. 1965) wrote about the rise of BC's Liberal Party under Gordon Wilson in Political Affairs (Horsdal & Schubart, 1994), with a chapter contributed by Gordon Wilson himself. After she lost her seat, Tyabji became a television host for CHEK television in Victoria and published Daggers Unsheathed: The Political Assassination of Glen Clark (Heritage, 2002), an insider's view of how Premier Glen Clark was removed from power by forces both within and outside the New Democratic Party. In 2016, she wrote Christy Clark: Behind the Smile (Victoria: Heritage House). All three books were national bestsellers in Canada. [See two reviews below.]
