Is there a list of all the women who served from 1925 to 1959 besides the one we have articles on? KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:35, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

KAVEBEAR, yes, I just found it in this book:

Cox, Elizabeth (1996). Women, state, and territorial legislators, 1895 - 1995: a state-by-state analysis, with rosters of 6,000 women. Jefferson, NC: McFarland. ISBN 978-0-7864-0078-2.

We are missing a few, listed below:

Sarah Todd Cunningham, Hilo, elected to Senate as a Democrat in 1937 and as a Republican in 1939 and 1943 (the latter for a two year unexpired term)
Isabelle Thompson, Maui County, elected to House as a Democrat in 1945
Dorothy L. Devereux already existed but I hadn't found it.

I have a mockup Good Topic and a bit of other info at User:Ezlev/Women in the Hawaii Territorial Legislature. — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 21:31, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
