  • 2008 State Register and Manual Dedication
    Connecticut Congresswomen: A Legacy of Leadership and Public Service Six women have shared the distinction of representing the people of Connecticut in the United States Congress. These outstanding women—Clare Boothe Luce, Chase Going Woodhouse, Ella Tambussi Grasso, Barbara Bailey Kennelly, Nancy Lee Johnson, and Rosa L. DeLauro—not only served in the United States House of Representatives but also distinguished themselves as mothers and successful career women. Three of them—Woodhouse, Grasso, and Kennelly—gained political experience by holding the constitutional office of the Secretary of the State of Connecticut. Through their dedication to public service and the struggle for equal rights for all they have left an indelible mark in the history of our state and our country. Clare Boothe Luce—Clare Boothe Luce was Connecticut’s first woman in Congress and one of the Republican Party’s leading spokespersons during World War II and the immediate post-war years. Born in New York City on April 10, 1903, Boothe Luce was a successful magazine writer, managing editor and playwright before entering politics in 1942. In Congress, where she served from 1943 until 1947, she stood against isolationism by calling for a strong, post-war international organization. She would later support American participation in and oversight of the United Nations Refugee Relief Agency’s post-war programs. On the domestic front, she endorsed the development of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, called for heavy taxation of the rich to finance the war, supported the Equal Rights Amendment in 1943, and championed the creation of a bureau in the Labor Department to ensure equal pay for equal work for women and minority workers.

Lankes, in 2010. Biographical Note Julius John Lankes, known as J.J. Lankes (1884–1960), was an American woodcut artist and illustrator. The majority of his work features nature scenes of the eastern United States. As an artist, he was friends with a number of poets and writers who commissioned work for publications, including Robert Frost, Beatrix Potter and Sherwood Anderson. Lankes was born in Buffalo and graduated from the Buffalo Commercial and Electro-Mechanical Institute in 1902. It was only after attending the Art Students League of Buffalo and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts that he created his first woodcut. In 1910 Lankes formed the Saturday 2 of 9 Sketch Club with other students from the Albright Art Academy, including lifelong friend William Schwanekamp.
