Women Elected Officials
For an excellent set of resources on the history of the Montana Legislature please visit the Legislature's "Facts and Statistics" page, particularly the extensive list of House and Senate leadership.
Most of this information was taken from the Lawmakers of Montana series of publications, Celebrating Women Elected to Serve the State of Montana, and the Montana Historical Society Research Center Vertical Files.
This site is maintained, but not updated as of 11/1/2023.
