  • 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).

    r. *''^ iX. "*j. aJltiUxJ 73. ^>^tli,^^/-^—^—/ c^tio^ We of the class of 1953 have come to understand that education and knowl­ edge exist only in the human mind and not in books. We therefore dedicate this Norwester to the faculty of our school, who have helped us transform printed words into living ideas. Our teachers, past and present, have not only given us knowledge, but have endowed us with the true meaning and spirit of education. Page One UR MEMORIES compose a sacred, Opersonal belonging which cannot be stolen by the thief, coveted by the greedy, degraded by the intruder, destroyed by time, or weakened by use. They are stable endowments which boast complete independence. Memory is indeed an erratic faculty. It honors the important and the insig­ nificant; it marks both the efforts of years and the levities of seconds. As vfe grow older, each of us will derive much pleasure from the mem­ ories of our past lives — our families, our friends, our school, our community, and all the other innumerable compo­ nents of background and environment which make up our youth. The good times and the difficult times, the victories and the defeats, the hopes and the disillusionments — all will be represented. But the most wonderful element of memory consists in the fact that the happiness, the gaiety, and the triumphs remain in our minds as being the more prevalent. The darker shad­ ows are passed aside and the sparkling surfaces are made yet more brilliant by the strokes of time. Our youth in Arlington has been rich in memories — most of which we are not to realize and fully enjoy for some time to come.

  • Rep. Marcia Fudge Transcript Bonnie Erbe
    Women Thought Leaders: Rep. Marcia Fudge Transcript Bonnie Erbe: Hello I’m Bonnie Erbe, welcome to ‘To The Contrary.’ This week we continue our series of interviews with women thought leaders and we have Representative Marcia Fudge, an Ohio Democrat and former Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Welcome Representative Fudge, thank you for joining us. Rep.Fudge: Thank you for having me it is a pleasure to be here. Bonnie Erbe: You are the former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Tell me what the caucus does for African Americans and what you did when you were chair of it? Rep. Fudge: Let me first say that the caucus represents seventy-eight million Americans. The majority are African Americans, but not all African Americans. We have representatives in our caucus that are not majority minority districts. And so we pride ourselves in being what we call the conscious of the Congress. We fight for people who are poor, people who are disadvantaged, people who are underserved, no matter their race, so that is what we do. The caucus now has forty-nine members. It is one of the largest caucuses in the House of Representatives and I think that my biggest source of pride as chair of the caucus was just to hold everybody together. You know when you get to be forty-nine members everybody has their own issues, but I wanted to focus on the issues that were most important to the people we represent and I think that we did that during those two years. Bonnie Erbe: Tell me your biggest legislative accomplishment during that time? Rep.
