Blanche Eileen Tallman Sufrin (née Tallman; January 19, 1913 – March 20, 1999) was a Canadian author and labour activist. In 1942, she led a strike of bank employees in Montreal, the first strike in the Canadian banking industry. She later led a drive to unionize employees at Eaton's and helped organize 9,000 Eaton's employees between 1948 and 1952. While the attempt was unsuccessful, the pressure led Eaton’s to increase employee salaries and benefits. In 1979, Sufrin was one of seven women awarded the Governor General’s Medal, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Persons Case.
