Head and Shoulder Portrait Of Katie Morrison
Katie Morrison was the first woman elected to the Wisconsin Senate back in 1974. Morrison, who served one term as a Democrat, served just one term in the Senate. In that term, she helped pass landmark legislation: limits on medical malpractice, the Farmland Preservation Act, and reducing inheritance taxes, especially important for widows and farm wives. She also worked on no-fault divorce. In 1976, she became the first woman named to the Legislature's influential Joint Finance Committee. |
