Great stat Jane, thanks for sharing !
And I'm SURE that this will be the lede for all the news agencies tomorrow: Glass Ceiling Broken In Georgia !
But no, I shall not be holding my breath :)
Agree...it’s a great stat....and....that we won’t hold our breath waiting on MSM to report this glass ceiling being broken. Great point.
The first ever female US senator was from Georgia: Rebecca Latimer Felton. In 1922, when Senator Tom Watson died in office, Gov. Thomas Hardwick, in a symbolic gesture, appointed the 87-year-old Rebecca Felton to fill Watson’s seat until a special election could be held. Walter George won, but allowed Felton to present her credentials before claiming his seat. Felton served 24 historic hours as the first woman in the U.S. Senate on November 21, 1922.
