Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection consists of the personal and political papers of Mary E. W. Risteau, the first woman elected to the Maryland House of Delegates (1921) and the State Senate (1935). The papers span the years 1786-1978 with the majority falling between 1900-1955. The documents not only reflect the active political career of Risteau but provide information on her own personal life and that of her family as well. The collection can roughly be separated into personal and political categories with the former represented in the first twelve boxes and the latter in the next nine.
