She represented North Vancouver in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1934 to 1945 as a Co-operative Commonwealth Federation member. She was born Dorothy Gretchen Biersteker in Amsterdam and was educated there, receiving a Bachelor of Laws degree from Leiden University. During World War I, she was legal adviser to a Dutch government rationing bureau. She married Rufus Palmer Steeves, an officer in the Canadian Army, and came to Vancouver, British Columbia in January 1919.[1] Steeves was a founding member of the CCF.[2] She ran unsuccessfully as a CCF candidate in the provincial riding of Vancouver-Point Grey in the 1933 general election. Steeves was first elected to the provincial assembly in a 1934 by-election held following the death of Harley Christian Erskine Anderson. She was reelected twice and then defeated when she ran for reelection in 1945.[1] Steeves went on to serve in CCF executives at the provincial and federal levels.[2] She ran unsuccessfully as a CCF candidate in the federal riding of Burnaby—Richmond in 1949[3] and as an NDP candidate in the federal riding of Vancouver Quadra in 1963.[4] Her interests included civil liberties, international affairs, nuclear disarmament, protection of animals, women's issues and abolition of capital punishment.[5] She died on May 9, 1978.[6] Steeves wrote The Compassionate Rebel : Ernest E. Winch and his times, published in 1960, and Builders and Rebels : A short History of the CCF from 1932 to 1961.[2] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.elections.bc.ca/docs/rpt/1871-1986_ElectoralHistoryofBC.pdf |title=Electoral History of British Columbia, 1871-1986 |publisher=Elections BC |accessdate=2011-07-27}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.library.ubc.ca/spcoll/AZ/PDF/S/Steeves_Dorothy_Gretchen.pdf |title=Dorothy Gretchen Steeves, 1891-1978 |date=April 1976 |publisher=University of British Columbia |accessdate=2011-11-05}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.parl.gc.ca/About/Parliament/FederalRidingsHistory/hfer.asp?Include=Y&Language=E&rid=90&Search=Det |title=Burnaby--Richmond, British Columbia (1947 - 1970) |work=History of Federal Ridings since 1867 |publisher=Parliament of Canada |accessdate=2011-11-05}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.parl.gc.ca/About/Parliament/FederalRidingsHistory/hfer.asp?Language=E&Search=Det&rid=763&Include= |title=Vancouver Quadra, British Columbia (1947 - ) |work=History of Federal Ridings since 1867 |publisher=Parliament of Canada |accessdate=2011-11-05}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://memorybc.ca/dorothy-gretchen-steeves-fonds;rad |title=Dorothy Gretchen Steeves fonds |publisher=British Columbia Archival Information Network |accessdate=2011-11-05}} 6. ^[https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FL1V-Y5Y Death] External links
