A Democrat, she lived in Jackson and represented Hinds County.
She authored legislation to allow women on state court juries.
[3][4] She appointed girl pages in the senate even though they had been relegated to a "special" week when they were allowed to serve.
She told a political opponent who said women had no place in the smoky motel rooms where politicking was carried out that if she were elected, she would do her legislating at the State Capitol instead of motel rooms.
