  • Chronology of Women in the West Virginia Legislature
    Chronology Wof men in the West Virginia Legislature 1922-2020 West Virginia Legislature’s Office of Reference & Information, Joint Committee on Government & Finance. 2019. Chronology of Women IN THE West Virginia Legislature When the first woman was elected to office in the mountain state in 1922, West Virginia couldn’t have prepared for the unstoppable force that would become the female politicians the state has to offer.
