Eight months of research on women who hold public office in Wisconsin culminated in a conference at which biographical, educational, political, and motivational factors distinguishing these women were discussed. The results of this research assisted the participants to appreciate the need for greater involvement of women in public life, and to understand the qualities necessary for successful involvement. The conference also commemorated the fiftieth anniversary year,1970, of the granting of the franchise right to women.
