Introduction

On November 9, 1916, Jeannette Rankin (R-MT) was elected to the House of Representatives as Montana's Representative-at-Large to the 65th Congress (1917-March 4, 1917-March 4, 1919). This election win gave Representative Rankin the distinction of being the first woman elected to serve in Congress.1 The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for one day.

Three hundred sixty fivesix women have been elected or appointed to Congress.2 These figures include six nonvoting Delegates, one each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and American Samoa, and two from the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as one Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico. Of these 365366 women, there have been3

  • 247 Democrats and 118119 Republicans;
  • 309 (211 Democrats, 98 Republicans) women elected only in the House of Representatives, including 7 (4 Democrats, 3 Republicans) women who have served as Delegates or Resident Commissioners in the House;4
  • 4041 (25 Democrats, 1516 Republicans) women elected or appointed only in the Senate; and
  • 16 (11 Democrats, 5 Republicans) women elected or appointed in both houses.

A record 131 women were initially sworn in for the 116th Congress. One has since resigned, and one has been appointed.5 This is higher than the previous record from the 115th Congress (109 women initially sworn in, 5 House Members subsequently elected, and 2 Senators subsequently appointed). Of the 130131 women currently in Congress, there are

  • 2526 in the Senate (17 Democrats and 89 Republicans);
  • 105 in the House (90 Democrats and 15 Republicans); including
  • 4 women in the House who serve as Delegates or Resident Commissioner (2 Democrats and 2 Republicans), representing the District of Columbia, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.

The total also includes

  • 25 African American women, 10 Asian Pacific American women, 15 Hispanic women, and 2 Native American women; and
  • 6 women who chair House committees, 1 woman who chairs a Senate standing committee, 1 woman who chairs a House select committee, and 1 woman who chairs a Senate select committee. One of the House committee chairs also chairs a Joint Committee.

Other notable facts about women in the 116th Congress include the following:

  • Not including Delegates and the Resident Commissioner, women currently hold 101 (23.2%) seats in the House of Representatives and 25 (2526 (26%) seats in the Senate, totaling 126127 (23.67%) of the 535 voting seats in the 116th Congress.
  • Including Delegates and the Resident Commissioner, women currently hold 105 seats in the House of Representatives, increasing the total to 130131 seats (24.02%) in the entire Congress.

Prior to the adoption of the Twentieth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, effective Oct. 15, 1933, the terms of Representatives and Senators began on March 4, in conformance with a resolution of the Continental Congress implementing the Constitution (adopted Sept. 13, 1788). The Twentieth Amendment provides inter alia that the terms of Representatives and Senators shall commence at noon on Jan. 3, in the year following their election. The first Congress affected by the Twentieth Amendment was the 74th (1935-1937). Since 1934, the first session of a Congress convenes on Jan. 3 of odd-numbered years and adjourned on Jan. 3 the following odd-numbered year. For ease of use, this table lists the closing date of each Congress as an even-numbered year. For more information, see http://www.senate.gov/reference/Sessions/sessionDates.htm.

Prior to the adoption of the Twentieth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, effective Oct. 15, 1933, the terms of Representatives and Senators began on March 4, in conformance with a resolution of the Continental Congress implementing the Constitution (adopted Sept. 13, 1788). The Twentieth Amendment provides inter alia that the terms of Representatives and Senators shall commence at noon on January 3, in the year following their election. The first Congress affected by the Twentieth Amendment was the 74th (1935-1937). Members elected to fill a vacancy are sworn in and commence their terms as soon as possible, as do Senators appointed to fill a vacancy.
