{{United States House of Representatives}}
Women have served in the United States House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the United States Congress, since 1917 following the election of Republican Jeannette Rankin from Montana, the first woman in Congress.{{cite web |last=Katz |first=Elizabeth D. |date=July 30, 2021 |title=Sex, Suffrage, and State Constitutional Law: Women's Legal Right to Hold Public Office |url=https://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=3896499 |language=en |location=Rochester, NY |ssrn=3896499}} In total, 396 women have been U.S. representatives and eight more have been non-voting delegates. As of January 3, 2025, there are 125 women in the U.S. House of Representatives (not including four female non-voting delegates), making women 28.7% of the total. Of the 404 women who have served in the House, 269 have been Democrats (including four from U.S. territories and the District of Columbia) and 135 have been Republicans (including three from U.S. territories, including pre-statehood Hawaii). One woman was the 52nd Speaker of the House, Democrat Nancy Pelosi of California.
Women have been elected to the House of Representatives from 49 of the 50 states. Mississippi is the only state that has not elected a woman to the House of Representatives, though it has elected a woman to the United States Senate. In 1917, Montana was the first state to send a woman to the House of Representatives and to Congress; in 2025, North Dakota became the most recent state to send its first woman to the House. Women have also been sent to Congress from five of the six territories of the United States; the final territory to send a woman to the House of Representatives is the Northern Mariana Islands, also in 2025. California has elected more women to Congress than any other state, with 50 U.S. representatives elected since 1923. To date, no woman who has served in the House has ever previously served in the Senate, has been elected to represent more than one state in non-consecutive elections, switched parties, or served as a third-party member in her career, although one was reelected as an independent.

These women began to win their own elections, with Florence Prag Kahn of California becoming the first woman to do it.

Women who gave birth while serving in the House
There have been 14{{efn|13 full members and one non-voting delegate}} women who gave birth at least once during their tenure as members of the House of Representatives. Two women gave birth multiple times, each giving birth three times while in office; one woman gave birth twice, once while serving in the House, and once while serving in the United States Senate.
During the 118th Congress, Congresswomen Anna Paulina Luna and Brittany Pettersen proposed different rule changes to allow proxy voting for new mothers (and new fathers per Pettersen's proposal).{{cite news|url=https://www.cpr.org/2024/10/02/brittany-pettersen-congress-proxy-voting-parental-leave/|title=Rep. Brittany Pettersen wants Congress to change rules and make it easier for members to be parents and do their jobs|first=Caitlyn|last=Kim|date=October 2, 2024}} Congressmembers Sara Jacobs and Mike Lawler joined the cause during the 119th Congress.{{cite news|date=January 8, 2025|first=Max |last=Cohen|publisher=Punchbowl News|url=https://punchbowl.news/article/house/bipartisan-group-lawmakers-readies-proxy-voting-resolution/|title=Bipartisan House group readies proxy voting resolution}}
