Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Jessie Rowles Caldwell was born in Manchester, England in 1901. The family emigrated to Canada in 1910, eventually settling on a Saskatchewan homestead near the Alberta border town of Empress in 1915. After attending Normal School in Saskatoon she taught at Eston before enrolling in the University of Saskatchewan in 1920, earning her way by teaching in rural schools and working for the Dominion Chautauqua during the summers. In 1924 Dr. Caldwell received her BSc, graduating in the same class as her brother William Rowles, and preceding one other brother and two sisters, all of whom graduated from the U of S. Following her marriage in 1924 to Dr. Alexander L. Caldwell (1892-1959) and the establishment of his medical practice in Cabri, Saskatchewan, she began her public service in earnest as chairman of the Cabri Consolidated School Board from 1929-1941.

When her husband joined the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps in 1941, she and her son Thomas David Roberts (Bobs) Caldwell (1933-2019) moved to Saskatoon where she was appointed to the volunteer Dependents' Advisory Committee to the Armed Forces for the Saskatoon Region. Dr. Caldwell was the first woman appointed to the National Film Board of Canada.

Dr. Caldwell later served as joint chairman of the Saskatchewan World Refugee Year Committee and travelled and spoke extensively on the work of the United Nations. Dr. Caldwell's years of service to the Council of Women were rewarded by life memberships of all three levels of the Council - local, provincial and national.
