  • 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.

STOUGHTON, MASS. \) V .\ ?. PREFACE Again is verified the statement that every Legislature has its own peculiar feature. That of 1916 was an extra session, Sept. 12, 13, 14, called to provide some method of taking the votes of the Massachusetts soldiers on the Mexican border, of securing a constitutional adjustment of the rep- resentative districts in Suffolk county, and of providing suitable compen- sation to families of soldiers in United States service as members of the National Guard. A bill to prevent spread of infantile paralysis was passed also. Extra pay of $50 each was deemed just and reasonable, with mileage of 20 cents one way. This was the first extra session, called for special action, since that of 1872, called to provide for exigencies resulting from the great Boston fire in November, which lasted two weeks, and at which other matters were also considered. Aside from this feature, was the fact that more business was disposed of in less time than ever before. One threatened investigation was warded off; and another resulted in an ex- pulsion.

DESCRIPTORS *Diplomatic History: *Employment Practices; *Federal Government; *Females: Foreign Countries; Foreign Diplomats; *United States History; Nomens Studies; World Affairs ABSTRACT A history of the employment of womenin the Department of State and the Foreign Serviceis presented. Thirteen chapters consider the status cf American womenfrom 1776 to the present: women in the Departmentand at international conferences, 1800-1940; applicants and employees for overseaseuplcyment, 1851-1943: the Foreign Service examinations; theimpact of war on employing women; the postwar,pericd,1949-1970: and the present and future role of women in the Department of State. In summary,it was not until the Civi) War that the governmentbegan to hire women in full-time positions. Although men and women inthe Department of State received equal pay for equal work, men werepromoted more quickly than women. For the first 35 yearsall women in the Department filled clerical jots: in 1 909the first uoman Was appointed to a semiprofessional position. Today,the Department has a higher percentage of women at the senior, middle,junior, and support levels than the government as a whole. It hasbeen more difficult, however, fcr women in the ForeignService. The Department reluctantly allowed women to take Foreign Serviceexaminations in the 1920s.
