10. Helen Gahagan Douglas
From Broadway productions in the 1920s, to starring in the 1935 successful film She, Helen Gahagan Douglas became the first Democratic woman to be elected to Congress from the state of California. Talk about one for the history books! Her time in the U.S. House of Representatives spanned six years (1945 to 1951) and while in that position, she was a tireless supporter and advocate of women’s and civil rights. Douglas made a run for the U.S. Senate in 1950, but lost the election to Richard Nixon, who she nicknamed “Tricky Dick,” and yes, it stuck.
