Past composition of the House of Representatives

[edit]

Women who served in the House of Representatives

[edit]

The first women who served in the Colorado House of Representatives were Clara Cressingham, Carrie Holly and Frances Klock. All three were elected to serve in 1895-1896.[27] Carrie Holly introduced and passed a Bill that raised the age of consent for girls from 16 to 18 and another that gave mothers the same rights to their children as fathers.[28]

A total of 10 women served in the period up to 1904, the last of them being Alice Ruble, after which the party leaders declared that 'no woman will ever again be elected to the (Colorado) legislature'[29]

Their prediction proved wrong, as demonstrated by the list of subsequent women members of the House.[27]
