This 1966 postcard was for Frances Bolton's final re-election to Congress. The postcard is said to depict "the purposeful stride of a busy legislator-and the iconic backdrop of the Capitol to underscore her long and effective years of service." Bolton began her career focused on issues of public health but soon expanded her interests and responsibilities to encompass Foreign Affairs. She became the first female member of Congress to head an official mission abroad and was promoted in 1953 to become the first female appointed Congressional delegate to the United Nations. | Source: Collection of the U.S. House of RepresentativesDownload Original File
