- Comment: The first hook is a bit of original research since the source was published in 2019 and not 2021, but List of presidents of the Ohio Senate shows it to still be true. Second hook is provided if that's a problem.

- comment only I boldly reworded the main hook. If she was the only women then obviously she was the first too. Victuallers (talk) 23:18, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
Looks like this is one of your first 5 dyks and its a good one. The neutral article is long enough and well reffed. It was labelled as a stub which breaks DYK rules but I removed this. No picture (maybe a US expert can add one as there appear to be photos more than 70 years old which may be OK). Waiving through the potential OR claim as too pernickity the first hook gets a tick. I cant't access the second so I will AGF that. I think I might have had a hook that said "dyk that it is said to be "abysmal" that the last woman to take Ohio's top leadership role, Margaret A. Mahoney, was over 70 years ago? Hope you had a good xmas. Victuallers (talk) 11:22, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
