*'''Delete''' "starting in the 20th-century" is both false and misleading. On one hand we have [[Martha Hughes Cannon]] elected a state senator in 1896. However the Utah Territorial Legislature's 1870s attempt to allow women to serve in elective office was blocked by the Federal government, and then the federal government rescinded women's right to vote in Utah. On the other hand well through the 20th-cnentury women in politics were extremely rare. during the time in the 1950s that Lyndon B. Johnson was the Democrat Majority Leader in the US census, his caucus had 0 females, and Margaret Chase Smith was the only female senator during that time. As recently as 1978 for part of the year the number of women in the US senate was 0. In 1991 the number of women serving as members of the US senate was 2. That is 2%. There have only been 56 women serve in the US senate, and this includes the first one who served a day as basically an honorific appointment. There are 18 states that have never elected a woman to the senate. There have been 1971 members of the United States senate to date, so 1915 have been men. No state has had more than 3 women senators, while no state has had less than 7 senators (Hawaii). New Jersey has had the most senators (66), and 0 of those have been women. Similar figures apply to the United States house of representatives, where 319 of 11,037 have been women. In both cases this adds up to just under 3% total. Pregnancy of such women though rare plays a role, and for example [[Mia Love]] was chastised by some for being a mother of minor children seeking political office in a way fathers of minor children never are.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 03:43, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
