Only 12 Pennsylvania women have served in Congress
Original: Only 12 Pennsylvania women have been elected to Congress, with a Scranton woman first to serve
Only 12 women from Pennsylvania have ever been elected to Congress, according to a report by WVIA Public Media. The first was a woman from Scranton, whose election broke ground for the state. The figure highlights how underrepresented Pennsylvania women have remained in the state's congressional delegation despite its large population.
Why now: Ongoing discussion of women's political representation in Pennsylvania, possibly tied to current elections or Women's History Month.
