About ten days from now seven ladies will begin the business managing of Rappahannock’s county seat. Two years ago ladies took over another Virginia town, Clintwood, down in southwest, and they did a good job.
Since the 19th Amendment gave women the vote, beginning August 26, 1920, it is estimated that 20,000 women have been elected or appointed to office in federal, state, county, and city governments: 47 have served in Congress and 2,806 in state legislatures. It is estimated that in the 30 years about 1000 women held top positions in federal service; 100 held elective state positions; 3000 had appointive state positions; 300 were in municipal service; 8000 in county governments; about 300 were in diplomatic service; and 160 were judges.
