All Things Considered, November 9, 2008 · The presidential election was not the only historic political moment last week: In New Hampshire, voters elected 13 women — out of 24 total members — to the state Senate, making it the country’s first state legislative body with more women than men. New Hampshire Senate President Sylvia Larsen talks to host Jacki Lyden about the election.

BTW - Texas had 36 women (by my count) in the most recent Legislature! Most of them were Republicans too! I’m not sure, however, if that number went up, or down, after the most recent election. Do you know Tom?
