The share of women in the United States House of Representatives has increased significantly since 1965. In that year, only 2.3 percent of Representatives were women. In 2023, that number had increased to 28.5 percent of the House. Despite the significant progress made to female representation in politics, there is still work to be done given that women actually outnumber men in the United States.
