Exhibition: Changing the Face of Power: Women in the U.S. Senate

From Pegasus News:

In 1789, the United States Senate convened for the first time. It had no female members. Such would be the case until 1922, two years after the establishment of women’s suffrage, when Rebecca Latimer Felton was appointed to represent the people of Georgia. Her term lasted for just a single day. Today, of course, things are different. Seventeen women serve their states in the Senate. And still, in the history of this nation, there have been only 38 female senators.

Changing the Face of Power: Women in the U.S. Senate, a new photographic exhibition at The Women’s Museum in Fair Park, explores the careers of the extraordinary ladies who have gone where others dared not.
