One of the central concerns these organizations shared was that there was no means through which they could share information about the progress children made after completing the respective programs. This information is critical for continued improvement in programs to enhance children’s learning as well as improving the quality of information available to teachers in the subsequent program in which children enroll. The Coalition established as its mission: To ensure school readiness and success of young children as they progress along the education continuum.

This was the largest class of women legislators in state history. Women now hold 31 percent of the seats in the Wlegislature. Previously, the largest number of women to serve in a session was 37, a num- ber reached in the 1989 and 2003 sessions. Including those serving in the senate and the assembly today, a total of 152 women have now been seated in the Wisconsin Legislature. Among all states, Wisconsin currently has the 22nd-highest proportion of women serv- ing in its legislature.1 This paper celebrates the service, achievements, and leadership of Wisconsin women legislators. Women in the assembly When Mildred Barber, Helen Brooks, and Helen Thompson took office in January 1925 as “assemblymen”—members of the assembly were formally renamed “representatives” in 1969 2—they became the first women to serve in the Wisconsin Legislature. Until the 1970s, no more than three women at a time served in the assembly, and during some sessions, no women served in the assembly at all.3 Of the 31 women elected to serve in 2021–22, 10 are in their first session.
