There is a long line of influential women in Kansas history, going back to Sara Robinson, the first First Lady of Kansas. Among the 25 women I've listed herein are politicians (including a senator and two governors), several social activists (suffragettes and temperance supporters), three actresses (including an Emmy winner and an Academy Award winner), two Kansas Supreme Court justices, and two Civil Rights pioneers. Two of the women have been included on recent lists of the most powerful women in the world.
