A short visual representation of the women of the 116th United States Congress (SLNYT).
The Times did a really nice short visual piece on all but one of the U.S. Congresswomen. "Representative Liz Cheney, Republican of Wyoming, was not available to be photographed."

I was also hoping the portraits were links for more info. Thank you for the additional information, filthy light thief.

I made phone calls and knocked on doors for Lauren Underwood last fall because I was unhappy to have moved in to a district represented by the GOP. I cannot get enough of seeing announced and or pictures as “Congresswoman Lauren Underwood”. It is such a rush.

From Seattle, we sent Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell, Pramila Jayapal, and Kim Shrier and I'm proud of these women. Go get 'em!

i was a little emotional noticing how many women of color there were. the number was both more than i expected, and somehow still feel like not enough. we're slowly getting better representation and i'm so proud of all of them. i'm sure this is also the most non-cis-hetero-abled Congress has ever been and that's also amazing.
