Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Jennifer E. Manning Information Research Specialist Colleen J. Shogan Deputy Director and Senior Specialist November 26, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30261 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Summary Ninety-four women currently serve in the 112th Congress: 77 in the House (53 Democrats and 24 Republicans) and 17 in the Senate (12 Democrats and 5 Republicans). Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House). -

Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994)
Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994). Papers, 1927-1985 22 feet Ollie Tucker Osborne's papers detail the activities of one of Louisiana's leading advocates of women's rights during the 1970s. Ollie was extremely active in the League of Women Voters and the Evangeline ERA coalition. She attended conferences or workshops throughout the South. She was appointed to the 1977 state women's convention in Baton Rouge and was elected a state delegate to the national convention in Houston. She helped organize or coordinate a number of workshops and conferences in Louisiana on women's rights. Much of this often frenetic activity can be seen through her papers. Osborne was born in northern Louisiana and educated at Whitmore College and Louisiana State University. Just before graduation she married Louis Birk, a salesman for McGraw-Hill & Company, and moved to New York. After several false starts Osborne launched a career in public relations and advertising which she pursued for twenty years. This included some pioneering work in television advertising. Following the sudden death of Birk in 1952, Osborne returned to Louisiana where she met and married Robert Osborne, an English professor at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette). During the next two decades she was busy as president of Birk & Company, a publisher of reading rack pamphlets. Osborne's introduction to politics at the state level was as an official League of Women Voters observer of the 1973 Constitutional Convention. Early in the year she determined that some on-going communication link was necessary to allay voter fear and apathy about the new constitution. -
Wave Football: Dome Action, Homecoming at Gormley
Tulane University Wave Football: Dome Action, Homecoming at Gormley July 24, 2008 1:30 AM Carol J. Schlueter [email protected] The Louisiana Superdome, home of Tulane football and one of the nation's premier athletics venues, will become Green Wave territory once again this fall as the season kicks off on Sept. 13 against East Carolina University, but Wave fans will be anticipating one season game in a different venue outdoors and steps away from the oaks in City Park. The Green Wave will take on Army in City Park's Tad Gormley Stadium on Oct. 4 for homecoming, while fans enjoy tailgating and celebrating around the stadium before the game. (Photo by Paula Burch-Celentano) For the first time since 2004, the Tulane homecoming game on Oct. 4 will take place in the 1937- era Tad Gormley Stadium, back in service after enduring extensive flooding due to Hurricane Katrina. Tulane will play Army in the homecoming contest at 2 p.m., one of five home games this season that will have an afternoon kickoff. The return to Tad Gormley in October has long been anticipated by the Wave faithful, who have fond memories of the 2002â“2004 homecoming games and celebrations held there. Count Charlotte Travieso in that number. “For alumni and the rest of us students, parents it's a much more welcoming and collegiate atmosphere, by the oak trees, near the expanse of Roosevelt Mall,” says Travieso, director of the Tulane Office of Alumni Affairs. As comfortable as it is at the Superdome, there's just something about a being outdoors at a college football game. -
