New Hampshire is set to become the first state in the country with an all-female congressional delegation after its newest lawmakers are sworn in today. New Hampshire’s new governor, Maggie Hassan, is also a woman. But the state’s gender progress is not reflected across the country. Women will hold just 20 percent of seats in the new Senate and less than 18 percent in the House. Six states have never elected a woman to the House, and four have never chosen a woman senator.
