Women Committee Chairpersons in the U.S. House
by Mark Molli - To close out Women’s History Month the History, Art & Archives office of the U.S. House of Representatives has posted a very informative blog segment on several of the women who have chaired committees in the U.S. House of Representatives. It includes an interesting and inspirational short video by Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Florida), who became chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The segment includes a chart of the 26 women who have chaired a standing, select, or joint committee since 1921 with hyperlinks to their biography.
