Now for to compile this into a map of states that have had female governors AND senators, those with just one (governor only in blue, senator only in green) of the positions, and those  haven't yet elected a woman to either position.



As this map notes, that's 13 states that have had both (and at the real progressive extreme NH has had both women of both parties in both positions!), 15 have only had female senators,  13 have only had female governors, and the remaining 9 have kept it "a boy's club".

Of these 9, only Pennsylvania can be considered "blue", the others are swing (including the reliable "bellwethers" Nevada and Ohio, and recent swingers Virginia and Colorado) or  deep Atlas BLUE (Tennessee, Mississippi, Indiana, Idaho).

I know it's almost certainly random, but it's funny how there seems to be a West/Midwest contrast in this map, with the first electing female governors but not senators, while the latter is OK with Senators but not with Governors.
