  • Coya Knutson - the Minnesota Farmwife Who Took Washington by Storm
    Cornelia «Coya» Genevive Gjesdal Knutson Født 22. august 1912 i Edmore, Nord Dakota Død 10. oktober 1996 i Edina, Minnesota Til høyre: Coya i 1955. Bilde: Biographical Directory of the United States Congress Congresswoman Coya Knutson - The Minnesota Farmwife who took Washington by Storm - fra tittelbladet til boka ​COYA COME HOME​ av Gretchen Urnes Beito Inspirert av en radiotale av Eleanor Roosevelt i 1942, kastet Coya Gjesdal Knutson seg inn i 1 politikken. Hun gjorde det godt, og drev det like til Representantenes Hus i Kongressen, som den første kvinnelige representanten fra staten Minnesota. I 1950-tallets USA var politikk risikosport for kvinner, og valgkampen til Kongressen måtte hun da også finansiere selv. Partiledelsen ville nemlig ha en annen, og mannlig, kandidat til Washington. Samtidig med et sterkt politisk engasjement, tok hun ansvar for sin sønn, Terry, mens mannens alkoholvaner gjorde familielivet stadig vanskeligere. Men også Coyas politiske liv ble forkludret av mannen. I forståelse med Coyas motstandere i partiet, lanserte han i mai 1958 to åpne brev der han gikk ut mot konas gjenvalg til Kongressen. Det første ble omtalt av redaktør Lloyd Sveen i avisen Fargo Forum. Sveens kommentar kom under overskriften ​COYA COME HOME​. Andy kom i tillegg med antydninger om utroskap. Pikant som saken var, ble den raskt snappet opp av Associates Press, og frasen ​COYA COME HOME​ gikk dermed som ild i tørt gress fra kyst til 2 kyst våren 1958. 1 COYA COME HOME side 65 2 ​https://history.house.gov/People/Detail/16457​, COYA COME HOME side 227 1 Med røtter i Gjesdal og Lillehammer Cornelia «Coya» Genevive Gjesdal ble født i Edmore, Nord Dakota, og var en av fire døtre til Christian Gjesdal og Christine Anderson Gjesdal, som navnene skrives i amerikansk litteratur om Coya.

  • Onto the National Stage
    Onto the National Stage congresswomen in an age of crises, 1935–1954 Thirty-six women entered Congress between 1935 and 1954, a tumultuous two decades that encompassed the Great Depression, World War II, and the start of the Cold War. Women participated in America’s survival, recovery, and ascent to world power in important and unprecedented ways; they became shapers of the welfare state, workers during wartime, and members of the military. During this time the nation’s capital took on increasing importance in the everyday lives of average Americans. The Great Depression and the specter of global war transformed the role of the federal government, making it a provider and protector. Like their male counterparts, women in Congress legislated to provide economic relief to their constituents, debated the merits of government intervention to cure the economy, argued about America’s role in world affairs, and grappled with challenges and opportunities during wartime. Distinct trends persisted from the pioneer generation of women in Congress. Second-generation women still made up only a small fraction of the total congres- sional membership. At their peak, 15 women served in the 83rd Congress Senators Joseph T. Robinson (far left) and Hattie W. Caraway of Arkansas at the June 1936 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at which President Franklin Roosevelt was nominated to a second term. Caraway was a supporter of the Roosevelt administration’s New Deal economic recovery programs, many of which benefited constituents in her agriculture-based state. image courtesy of the national archives and records administration (1953–1955)—about 2.8 percent.
