Despite centuries of progressive change in our perception and treatment of women, America has yet to achieve full gender equality. Women still do not earn equal pay for equal work, sexual harassment and assault continues to make headlines, and a woman’s right to choose and access to birth control is under constant assault. In Congress, Joyce is working tirelessly to address these and the many other social, economic, and political disparities that still exist for women. As she likes to say, “When women succeed, America succeeds!”

Civil Rights and Voting Rights
Every American should be able to live their life free from discrimination, no matter what they look like, where they live, who they love, or disability status. Similarly, all Americans should have equal access to the ballot box, and any attempt to infringe upon that right poses a serious threat to our democracy.

Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
