Upon her election to the House in 1965, Catherine May of Washington stated that she felt “a tremendous feeling of responsibility toward all women.” Shown here in a re-election campaign postcard, May was a great supporter of the agricultural needs of her constituents, as well as women’s issues such as the sex discrimination clause in the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Equal Rights Amendment.
