Edna Beard (1877-1928)
Edna was the first woman to serve in the Vermont legislature (1921). Her first act of legislation provided $2 a week in child support for women whose husbands were “incapacitated by an incurable disease.” After serving one term in the Vermont House, she moved on to the Vermont Senate where she chaired the Library Committee. Her first enacted bill in the Senate made it possible for county sheriffs to hire female deputies.
