If you are talking about the US senate, there have been a number of women who served a full term. The first woman to be elected to the senate (one woman was symbolically appointed for a day back in 1922) was Ophelia Wyatt "Hattie" Caraway from Arkansas. Caraway was elected in 1932, and she was then re-elected. But since then, among the women senators to serve a full term (or more) were Maine's Margaret Chase Smith, who served 24 years in the Senate (beginning in 1949); California's Diane Feinstein (who first was elected in 1992 and has won four subsequent elections, and more than twenty other women.
