They were always few and are DROPPING in number. The 116th GOP house caucus has 13 women , even fewer than last session as the Republican leadership, joined with the religious right, works to stuff women's rights and equality back in the traditional women's roles bottle.

Btw, the 13 survivors are angry at the Republican male attitudes toward them. Their caucuses are hostile territory for embattled female Republican politicians. Some have been deciding not to run for reelection it's so bad.
