WASHINGTON 6, D. C.
WOMEN IN STATE APPOINTIVE POSITIONS
The advances of women in winning appointments to high State and Territorial
Government positions - and the scope of their responsibilities in these posts -
are truly noteworthy.
Women hold top appointive posts in every State of the union, except Alaska,
having been named to these positions by Governors or by key State adminis- -
tration officials. They serve in Governors' Cabinets, as chiefs and deputy
chiefs of departments, as members of commissions on public welfare, public
utilities, employment security, fiscal affairs, public personnel, education.
They serve as judges, clerks of courts, and in a variety of other appointive
judicial posts.
Following is a list by State of 875 women, showing their appointive positions,
based on currently available information, It is important to note that this survey
DOES NOT LIST ALL WOMEN APPOINTIVE OFFICE-HOLDERS or cover every
scope of women's work. It does endeavor to collate as much information as the
States have contributed on the character of work in which women officials are
engaged, and the heavier responsibilities and opportunities being extended to
them. Political affiliations, when available, are indicated by (R) and (D).
