MacGill, Elsie Gregory, 1905-1980 : Elizabeth Muriel "Elsie" Gregory MacGill, engineer and community leader, was the daughter of Helen Gregory MacGill, a Judge of the Vancouver Juvenile Court and an early feminist. MacGill graduated from the University of Toronto in 1927 with a degree in electrical engineering, and from the University of Michigan (1929) with a Masters degree in aeronautical engineering. She was the first woman to graduate from both of these universities in this field. MacGill was afflicted by a polio-like illness during her studies which left her with a physical disability. MacGill was employed as an aeronautical engineer for Fairchild Aircraft Ltd., 1934-1937 where she worked on aerodynamics and stress calculations, flight testing and production of commercial aircraft. In 1937 she joined the Canadian Car and Foundry Co. Ltd. and was responsible for the design, testing and certification of the Maple Leaf Trainer II.

During the Second World War she was responsible for the Canadian production of the Hawker Hurricane Fighter aircraft for the United Kingdom and the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver divebomber for the U.S. Navy. In 1943 she opened an office in Toronto as a consulting aeronautical engineer and became the Canadian Technical Advisor to the United Nations Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). She was a Commissioner on the Ontario Building Materials Evaluation Commission, 1976-1980. For her technical expertise MacGill has won many honours and awards.

MacGill was an advocate for the status of, and critical issues affecting, women and was also very active in women's organizations. She was president of the Ontario Business and Professional Women's Clubs, 1956-1958, and the Canadian Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, 1962-1964, and served as a Commissioner for the Royal Commission on the Status of Women, 1967-1970. She was author of My Mother the Judge, 1956.
