Book:  WOMAN IN THE HOUSE (AND

SENATE): HOW WOMEN CAME TO THE

UNITED STATES CONGRESS, BROKE

DOWN BARRIERS, AND CHANGED THE

COUNTRY
Author: Ilene Cooper

This book talks about the history of women in the government. For the first 128 years of our country there was no women in the house or senate. This book starts with the women's suffrage movement and continues until the election of 2012. I love that the book is filled with great illustrations photographs. It also includes a glossary, index, and chart of all the women who have served in Congress.
