During the month of March, we will celebrate Women’s History Month.
Women make up 27 percent of Congress. One-hundred and forty-five women serve in the United States Congress out of 535 total members. Though the number of women representatives continues to rise, it's important to keep in mind that the United States population is 50.8 percent female, according to Census data.
Have a great day PIOS!
