Marion Langan Munley (August 19, 1905 – September 14, 1983) was among the first women elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

She established multiple precedents for women in Pennsylvania public life and was a prominent leader in her community.

Marion L. Munley was born in Buffalo, New York, on August 19, 1905, to Martin and Julia Walsh Langan.

[1] Following her husband's death on January 25, 1947, Munley became the first woman to represent Lackawanna County in the state house after winning a special election on September 9, 1947.

[2] Munley was the co-author of House Bill 66 (1959), also known as the Equal Pay for Women Act, which prohibited “the discrimination in rate of pay of sex conferring powers and imposing duties on the Department of Labor and Industry.” Pennsylvania Governor David L. Lawrence signed the act into law on December 17, 1959.
