    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).

  • The Roaring Twenties Changes in the Status of Women Continued Even More Dramatically After the End of the War
    Chapter 18 The Roaring Twenties Changes in the status of women continued even more dramatically after the end of the war. Skirt lengths rose from the ankle to the knee and above. Women cut their hair in the short “bob” and some began smoking cigarettes in public. Oklahoma passed a state constitu- tional amendment giving women the right to vote, and in 1920 the Nineteenth Amend- ment to the national constitution was rati- fied. aLiCe maRY RoBeRTSON. In 1920 Alice Mary Robertson became the second woman ever to be elected to the United States Congress. Not only was she a woman, but she was a Republican elected from a dis- tinctly Democratic district. “Miss Alice” was a bristling, straitlaced, scholarly woman who gave her entire life to public service, although she held public office for only one term. She was not related to Governor J.B.A. Robert- son. A schoolteacher and restaurant owner from Muskogee, she operated a cafeteria, which she advertised as a club for working girls. She was the daughter of missionary William Rob- ertson, granddaughter of missionary Samuel Austin Worcester, and the daughter of Ann Eliza Worcester Robertson, the first Ameri- can woman to hold a Doctor of Philosophy Degree. Alice Mary Robertson fell one year Alice Mary Robertson short of her own degree because of poverty. She never allowed a soldier to pay for a meal in her restaurant and stood staunchly against repeal of the 18th Amendment, prohibition of liquor. Miss Alice and her mother turned their home into an orphanage for Creek Indian girls.

  • ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” the Ku Klux Klan in Mclennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Me
    ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Mentor: T. Michael Parrish, Ph.D. This thesis examines the culture of McLennan County surrounding the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s and its influence in central Texas. The pervasive violent nature of the area, specifically cases of lynching, allowed the Klan to return. Championing the ideals of the Reconstruction era Klan and the “Lost Cause” mentality of the Confederacy, the 1920s Klan incorporated a Protestant religious fundamentalism into their principles, along with nationalism and white supremacy. After gaining influence in McLennan County, Klansmen began participating in politics to further advance their interests. The disastrous 1922 Waco Agreement, concerning the election of a Texas Senator, and Felix D. Robertson’s gubernatorial campaign in 1924 represent the Klan’s first and last attempts to manipulate politics. These failed endeavors marked the Klan’s decline in McLennan County and Texas at large. “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924 by Richard H.
