Media Advisory
The Women of the Oklahoma Legislature oral history project, launched 2006, captures and records first-hand stories from women who have or are currently serving in the Oklahoma Legislature. The project provides an opportunity to reflect on their individual paths to the Capitol as well as a venue to document more completely the presence of these women in state government. From 1907 and 2008 only 77 women have been elected to the Oklahoma Legislature. As of February 2009, 46 of these remarkable women have shared their stories with the project.
