Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton

Norton’s ranking is “noteworthy because she is a nonvoting member.” Also noteworthy is that the ranking only accounts for a Member’s own legislation, not for a Member’s ability to stop other legislation.

Watch as Norton fights back against attempts to deny D.C. residents their democratic rights.

See Norton's journey from civil rights activist, to civil rights lawyer, to Member of Congress.

Congresswoman Norton appeared on the “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” with actor Joy Bryant, who is playing Norton as a young lawyer in the online series “Good Girls Revolt.” The series is inspired by the real-life story of women at Newsweek, who were represented by Norton in the late 1960s when she successfully sued the magazine in a landmark class-action suit.
