  • Current Women Members 778 ★ Women in Congress ★ Introduction to ★
    ★ PART TWO ★ Current Women Members 778 ★ women in congress ★ introduction to ★ Current Members’ Profiles KEY TO MEMBER TITLES In the 90 years since Representative Jeannette Rankin of Montana became the first woman elected to Congress, a total of 229 women have served in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. Many themes central to the larger saga of American democracy resonate in the history of women in Congress: pioneering spir- it, struggle, perseverance, gradual attainment of power, advancement through unity, and outstanding achievement. The legacy of that dynamic history serves as prologue to the 84 women who now serve in the 109th Congress (2005–2007). The 67 Representatives, three Delegates, and 14 Senators constitute the largest group of women to serve in the history of ★ senator ★ the institution (15.5 percent of the total lawmakers in both chambers). In fact, they account for more than one-third of all the women who have ever served in Congress. All were sworn in to Congress after 1976; most first took office in the 1990s. Part II of Women in Congress provides biographical profiles of these individuals in a format that echoes former Member entries—with information on precongress- ional careers, first House or Senate campaigns, committee and leadership positions, and legislative achievements. But because these are careers in progress, definitive accounts of current Members must await a later date. Current Members were given the opportunity to review their individual profiles prior to publication. In addition, Part II profiles differ in tone and style from, and they are half the length (750 words) of, most former Member entries.
