Two Congresswomen, Clare Boothe Luce and Winifred Stanley, bundled up outside the U.S. Capitol on January 7, 1943, the day of President Roosevelt’s State of the Union Address. Capitol Police Officers kept a watchful eye as the Representatives posed together. Both women began their careers in Congress in 1943, making them two of just five Republican women to serve in the House of Representatives from 1943 to 1945.
