The Women of the 116th Congress: Portraits of Power by New York Times
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 73 MB
Overview: A celebration of the history-making women of the 116th Congress, who stand as a testament to what power looks and sounds like in 2019
The first woman Speaker of the House. The first female combat veteran. The first Native American women. The first Muslim women. The first openly gay member of the Senate. These are just some of the remarkable firsts represented by the women of the 116th Congress, the most diverse and inclusive in American history.
Just over a century ago, Jeannette Rankin of Montana won a seat in the House of Representatives, becoming the first woman ever elected to federal office. In 1917, 128 years after the first United States Congress convened, she was sworn into its 65th session.
One hundred and two years later, one has become 131—the number of women serving in both chambers of the 116th Congress as of 2019.
