Nevada becomes 1st US state with female-majority legislature

Women will hold nine of 21 seats in the state Senate, falling short of a majority in that chamber. But they will hold 23 of 42 seats in the assembly, comprising 55 per cent in that chamber and giving women enough numbers to make the two chambers an overall female majority. No state has previously had a female-majority or even a 50% female Legislature.
