A. No America at present holds
the honor of having as a member Of
its Congress the only woman in the
world elected as a national legislator.
Russia's new democracy offers equal
opportunities for legislative service
and has enrolled one of it's most prom
inent women in the temporary coun-
ell of the nation, but until conditions
become less chaotic in our newest sis
ter republic her representatives can
not be classed as legislators consti-
tuted by the people.
Though the sight of woman in a
national legislature is rare, women as
local representatives are often chosen
in the foreign countries where equal
suffrage prevails In the United States
Miss Rankin is far from being with
out a feminine background. Eleven
women legislators were elected in
1917. The large majority Of these are
in western states and it is rather in
teresting to note that 100 per cent Of
them are married. OF the H. nine
are democrats. Miss Rankin. however
is a republican.
