The first female state governor in the United States was Ella T. Grasso, who served as the governor of Connecticut from 1975 to 1980. She was the first woman to be elected governor of a U.S. state in her own right, as opposed to succeeding her husband. Grasso was known for her advocacy on issues such as women's rights and healthcare.
