It should be noted that Sandra Day O'Connor, the first lady on the Supreme Court, is also from the Grand Canyon State, though she was born in Texas.

Also, in the 1998 General Election, Arizona was the first state to elect females to all statewide executive offices. This included Janet Napolitano, who won her Attorney General election by 3 percent, while Republican's won by massive margins in other contests.

There is still one last glass ceiling: a Senate seat.

You know what's ironic? How none of the states in the Rocky Mountain West have elected a female senator.
