Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012
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. -

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.

Former Women Members “I’M No Lady, I’M a Member of Congress”
★ PART ONE ★ Former Women Members “I’m No Lady, I’m a Member of Congress” women pioneers on capitol hill, 1917–1934 Great triumphs and historic firsts highlight women’s initial foray into national political office. Four years after Jeannette Rankin was elected to the House of Representatives in 1916, women won the right to vote nationally, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Rebecca Felton of Georgia became the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate in 1922. That same year, Alice Robertson of Oklahoma became the first woman to preside over the House of Representatives. In 1923, Representative Mae Ella Nolan of California became the first woman to chair a congressional committee. Two other women followed her lead, including Mary Norton of New Jersey, the first woman elected from the East Coast, who would chair four House committees during her quarter-century career. In 1932, Hattie Caraway became the first woman elected to the Senate. Several other women attained prominent committee positions, including Representative Florence Prag Kahn of California, the first woman to serve on the powerful Appropriations Committee. Nevertheless, women were still a distinct minority of the 435 House Members; at their peak during this period, nine served in the 71st Congress (1929–1931). They lacked the power to focus congressional attention on the issues that were important to them. Jeannette Rankin of Montana, a suffragist and peace activist, was the first woman to serve in Congress. painting by sharon sprung, 2004, collection of the u.s. house of representatives Without seniority, and facing institutional prejudices, the early Congress- women viewed leadership positions as an elusive quest. -
Xavier Newsletter #75 (PDF)
Kevin Eastman http://kevineastmanbasketball.com We all teach our set plays by running them 5-on-0 (with no defenders). The reason is we want to get the patterns down as well as all the other intricacies of the set. Unfortunately the players don’t seem to think it is as important as the coaches do. With this lack of interest the coach often finds himself or herself doing an equal amount of prodding as well as coaching while trying to get the players to run the sets at game speed. The NBA level is no different, but there are differences between the teams that win and the teams that don’t win in terms of how they go about this aspect of practice. As coaches we have to get them to understand that Dummy Offense is critical to becoming a finely tuned offensive team. There are 3 levels at which teams go about running their Dummy Offense: Running through the set: this is a team that actually goes through the proper patterns of the sets but with no purpose; they feel that getting the patterns down is all there is to it Execution: this is a team that understands it’s more than just getting the patterns down; it’s an emphasis on timing and spacing, putting passes on time and on target, cutting hard with game speed cuts, cutting with a purpose. It’s an emphasis on the details of the pattern and the fundamentals of the pattern that separates them from other teams Perfection: this is a step that only the very best understand. -
