Edith Louise Starrett Green (January 17, 1910 – April 21, 1987) was an American politician and educator from Oregon.

She worked as a schoolteacher and advocate of education in 1929, married Arthur N. Green in 1930, and left school to begin a family.

[3] Throughout her ten terms as a representative, Green focused on women's issues, education, and social reform.

[7][8] Green also provided significant input to the National Defense Education Act of 1958, intended to keep the United States ahead of the Soviet Union during the space race after the launch of Sputnik 1.

Green helped to develop the legislation that was to become Title IX, now-called the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act.

[9] The hearings on this bill, working together with fellow Representative Patsy Mink and Senator Birch Bayh, eventually resulted in the passage of Title IX in 1972.

[10] In 1964, she was the only woman in the House of Representatives who voted against including sex as a protected class in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the amendment to do so had been introduced by Virginia Congressman Howard W. Smith in an attempt to sink the bill.

[16] Edith Green died on April 21, 1987, in Tualatin and was buried at Mountain View Cemetery in Corbett, Oregon.
