I have been trying to find out who the eight women US Senators are. Can you give me a source or the names? I think your home page is GREAT and I will use it in my class, Rhetoric of Women. - Elizabeth

Thanks for your note to FEMINIST.COM and for your great words about our site. The nine (not eight) women in the U.S. Senate are:

• Dianne Feinstein (California)
• Barbara Boxer (California)
• Kay Bailey Huchison (Texas)
• Carol Moseley Braun (Illinois)
• Mary Landrieu (Lousianna)
• Barbara Mikulski (Maryland)
• Patty Murray (Washington)
• Olympia Snowe (Maine)
• Susan Collins (Maine)
