Edith Nourse Rogers
1926
National Women’s History Museum
Alexandria, VA, United States
Throughout her 35-year House career, one of the longest tenures of any woman, Edith Nourse Rogers was a strong supporter of the military, particularly veterans. She sponsored legislation that established the Women's Army Corps and introduced a package of measures that became the GI Bill. Remarking on her House service, Rogers said "the first 30 years are the hardest. It's like taking care of the sick. You start it and you like the work, and you just keep on."
