The Election May Not Be Over Yet, but These Inspiring Women Have Already Made History

Mauree Turner was elected to Oklahoma's state House, making her the first Muslim to serve on the state's legislature and one of the first openly non-binary lawmakers in America. "Y'all I can honestly say I never expected this when we started out," Turner said in a Facebook post on Nov. 3. "I have a lot of feelings about tonight. But overall, I'm grateful for HD88 granting me this opportunity. I hate SQ805 & so many other things slipped through Oklahoma's fingers . . . But I'm ready to fight hard as hell so they never do again.
