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).

  • Women in Leadership Luncheon Dallas Chamber of Commerce January 30, 1990
    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu United States Department News of Labor Office of Information Washington, D.C. 20210 SECRETARY ELIZABETH DOLE REMARKS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP LUNCHEON DALLAS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE JANUARY 30, 1990 What a pleasure it is to return to Dallas--a city which holds some very fond memories for me. I well remember your hospitality in 1984, when Republicans gathered to re-nominate the Reagan-Bush ticket, and I was also fortunate to make a number of trips to Texas during my service as Secretary of Transportation. The beauty and size of your state reminds me of the story about the Texas politician who started a speech by talking about the beautiful piney woods of east Texas, and then he moved on through the bluebonnets and out to the plains and down through the hill country to the Gulf Coast and then he got back to the piney woods and started all over again. And when he got all around the state that time, he started in again about those beautiful piney woods and bluebonnets. Right then, a little old fellow rose up in the back of the room and yelled out, "The next time you pass Lubbock, how about letting me off?" Well, whether it's Lubbock, Houston, or Dallas, Texans can be justifiably proud of the progress and economic expansion taking place throughout your state. Over the past few years, the Dallas/Fort Worth area has been recognized as a premier location for business and corporate headquarters.

Madam President: Progress, Problems, and Prospects for 2008 By Robert P. Watson1 Abstract Women have made great progress in electoral politics both in the United States and around the world, and at all levels of public office. However, although a number of women have led their countries in the modern era and a growing number of women are winning gubernatorial, senatorial, and congressional races, the United States has yet to elect a female president, nor has anyone come close. This paper considers the prospects for electing a woman president in 2008 and the challenges facing Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice–potential frontrunners from both major parties–given the historical experiences of women who pursued the nation’s highest office.

As the vice president has inched closer to the Democratic presidential nomination, his favorability ratings have fallen and he has slipped further behind GOP frontrunner George W. Bush in the horse race polls. While general election polls taken at this point in the cycle are more often wrong than right (see page 5), Gore’s problems may be more enduring. Fewer Americans volunteer positive descriptions of Gore than did so just two years ago, and his favorability ratings are well below the 1987 ratings of Vice President Bush, who trailed the likely Democratic nominee at that time. The patterns of response to questions about Gore may be more troublesome than the weak numbers themselves. Analysis of the latest Pew Research Center survey shows that attitudes toward Gore are more closely linked to Bill Clinton’s mixed personal ratings than to his strong job approval. The opposite pattern was observed for Bush and Reagan 12 years ago.

Conservative Activism on the Rehnquist Court: Federal Preemption is No Longer a Liberal Issue James B. Staab* As has been widely discussed, and convincingly demonstrated elsewhere,1 the Rehnquist Court is in the midst of a constitutional revolution in the area of federalism. By broadly interpreting the 2 Tenth and Eleventh Amendments, the five-justice conservative bloc has sharply limited federal authority and has resurrected the con- cepts of state "traditional functions" and "sovereign immunity." One notable exception to this revolution, however, has been the Court's preemption decisions.3 Significantly, in this area the Rehnquist Court conservatives have been as likely, or more likely, than their * Associate Professor of Political Science, Central Missouri State Uni- versity; B.A., Roanoke College; J.D., University of Richmond; Ph.D., Univer- sity of Virginia.

Alan Kimbrough The women’s movement of the early twentieth century laid the groundwork for equality in our modern society. No longer a novelty, female politicians continue to make inroads in our increasingly fast-paced and interconnected world. As more and more women serve their country as elected officials, more and more attention is paid to their rhetorical strategies. This thesis provides a close analysis of four powerful speeches given by female politicians at major party conventions. Women included in this study are Texas Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, former First Lady and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Senator Elizabeth Dole and former Vice-Presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro. The persuasive oratory by all four of these women is analyzed through various rhetorical lenses. iii Acknowledgements This thesis is dedicated to my husband, Eric Shanks.

Luncheon at the waiting in a supermarket checkout line, and instead of seeing all those tacky liberal women’s magazinesImagine like Cosmopolitan and Glamour, you see Smart, the magazine for the sharp, intellectual—and fashion- conscious—conservative woman. Instead of, say, Paris Hilton gracing the cover in all her vacant glory, you see Star Parker or Michelle Malkin modeling the latest professional styles. And rather than being bombarded with teasers like “50 ways to make him want you,” your eyes are drawn to “10 policy positions that will make him crazy.” That would be worth your four dollars. The Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute doesn’t publish a magazine—yet. But weare proud to present to you our 4th annual Great American Conservative Women Calendar. It features smart, beautiful women we send to college campuses every year to impact the lives of young women. And as a special treat,for 2008 we hired our own photographer to capture a unique portrait of each woman in a setting that reflects their individuality. The result is a one-of-a-kind calendar filled withexclusive photos of your favorite conservative all-stars. Now that’s smart!
