In honor of the last day of Women’s History Month here is a local history tidbit:
Did you know that the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate was from Humphreys County? Hattie Caraway was elected the U.S. Senate on January 12, 1932.
Hattie Caraway attended Dickson’s Normal College beginning at age 15 and graduated in 1896 with a BA degree. She taught school in Hickman County prior to moving to Arkansas and entering public office. She served two 6-year terms and left the Senate in 1945. In 2001 the U.S. Postal Service paid tribute to her by placing her image on a 76 cent stamp.
You can read more about her in the book "Dickson County, Tennessee 1803-2003: Two Hundred Years of Family."
