The collection documents Mink's tenure in the House of Representatives as congresswoman from Hawaii from 1965 to 1977 and again from 1990 until her death in 2002. Extensive legislative files chronicle her advancement of gender equity, most notably through her authorship of Title IX and the Women's Educational Equity Act, as well as her legislative work on many other aspects of education and women's rights and her activities relating to welfare, the environment, United States territories in the Pacific, Asian-American affairs, consumer affairs, civil rights, labor, immigration, health care, Vietnam, and nuclear weapons testing.

Material between 1977 and 1990 relates principally to her activities as assistant secretary of state for oceans and international, nvironmental, and scientific affairs, president of Americans for Democratic Action, and chair of the Honolulu City Council. The collection is arranged in nine series, the first four of which correspond to the major chronological periods of Mink's professional and political career: Pre-Congressional File (pre-1965), Congressional File I (1965-1977), Inter-Congressional File (1977-1990), and Congressional File II (1990-2002). The collection's remaining five series include Family Papers, Scrapbooks, Restricted, Classified, and Oversize. The Pre-Congressional File series includes student papers, client files from her private law practice, material from her participation in Hawaii and national Democratic Party politics, campaign files from her Hawaii house and senate races, and legislative files from her service in the territorial and state legislatures. The earliest political material, dated 1953-1954, relates to Mink's role in organizing the Everyman Committee, a group of reform-minded young Democrats who later founded the Oahu and Hawaii

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 and the Presidency
    Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.
