The first black congresswoman that was elected from the deep south was Barbara Jordan. She was re-elected and she was the first woman that was elected to the Texas Senate.
That was Carol Mosely Braun, a Democrat from Illinois. She won the senatorial election in November 1992 and became the first African-American woman elected to the United States Senate. (There had already been a black woman elected to the House of Representatives-- Shirley Chisholm of New York, who was elected in 1968.)
the first woman to be a senator was Rebecca Latimer of Georgia from 1992-1945
Carol Moseley Braun (Check Wikipedia for specifics)
You are probably asking about a "senator"-- the senate is a branch of congress. The first woman senator was appointed for just one day in 1922-- Rebecca L. Felton of Georgia. But the first woman to be elected to the senate for an actual term was Hattie Caraway of Arkansas, in 1932.
Yes she was. A Democrat from Arkansas, she was originally appointed to fill the seat held by her husband after he died. But then she ran for office, and won the election, making her the first woman to be elected to the Senate. She served from 1931 to 1945. Mrs. Caraway was also the first woman to preside over the Senate, the first to chair a Senate committee, and the first to preside over a Senate hearing.
