Women in the GOP
The following excerpt has been sourced from the
National Federation of Republican Women:
Women have played a
key role in the Republican Party since its establishment in 1854.
The Republican Party and Republican women were the primary force
behind the women's suffrage movement and the passage of the 19th
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Republican women have made history as the first women to serve in
key positions, including Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected
to the U.S. Congress. Republican women such as Kelly Knight Craft
continue to explore uncharted territory on behalf of all women.
President Trump nominated Craft to succeed Nikki Haley as U.S.
Ambassador to the United Nations, and she was confirmed by the U.S.
Senate on July 31, 2019.
