When I came to Congress in 1989, there were only 31 women in the legislative branch, and today there are 127. While this is significant, it is still not enough. Only 359 women have served in Congress, compared with almost 12,000 men, and most of these have been white women. — PolitiTweet.org

I am so inspired by this freshmen class of women who bring new voices and perspectives to the table. We need women in positions of power more than ever to fight for the vulnerable, marginalized, and voiceless, and this anniversary reminds us of that. #HiddenHerstory — PolitiTweet.org
