One hundred nine women currently serve in the 115th Congress: 88 in the House, including Delegates and the Resident Commissioner for Puerto Rico (65 Democrats and 23 Republicans), and 21 in the Senate (16 Democrats and 5 Republicans).

These figures include six non-voting 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 the 50 women who have been elected or appointed to the Senate, 14 were first appointed and five were first elected to fill unexpired terms.

Notes: Names of Democratic Representatives and Senators in Italics; Republicans in Roman.
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.
a. Member did not serve the entire Congress. See biographical information in the Alphabetical Listing section for additional information.
b. Moved from House to the Senate during this Congress. See biographical information in the Alphabetical Listing section for additional information.
c. Gladys Spellman was elected also to the 97th Congress, but was unable to be sworn in because of a disability and her seat was declared vacant on Feb. 24, 1981.
d. Eva Bowring was appointed to serve until a successor was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death or Dwight Griswold. Hazel Abel was elected to fill that vacancy.
e. Was elected but not sworn in since chamber was out of session. See biographical information in the Alphabetical Listing section for additional information.
f. Appointed to fill a vacancy at the end of the 67th Congress, and served for one day.

Throughout this report, House and Senate totals each include one woman elected but not sworn in or seated due to the House or Senate being out of session. Both women are included in various official congressional publications, including, for example, the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress (http://bioguide.congress.gov), "Women in Congress" (http://history.house.gov/Exhibition-and-Publications/WIC/Women-in-Congress) and "Senators of the United States 1789-present: a chronological list of senators since the First Congress in 1789," maintained by the Senate Historical Office (http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/resources/pdf/chronlist.pdf). |

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. |
