Who We Are
Since its founding in 1901 by social activist Mary Harriman, The Junior League has evolved into one of the oldest, largest, and most effective women’s volunteer organizations in the world, encompassing more than 150,000 women in 291 Leagues in four countries.
The 2016 elections may be over, but there’s still lots of chatter in the U.S. about the outcome, the outlook and the way the electoral dynamics have changed. So it’s worth taking a look at the progress American women – both blue state and red state – have made in reaching elected office over the last quarter of a century. It goes without saying that we still need more women in politics.
