Women have already secured 95 seats in the next House of Representatives — the largest number in history, shattering the previous record of 84, the current number. Once all the ballots are counted, more than 100 may be headed to Capitol Hill to serve two-year terms, along with 13 female senators who will take their seats alongside another 10 already serving.

This means that at least 118 women will serve in the 116th Congress, up from the current 107. It will bring the percentage of female members up from the current 20 percent to at least 22 percent.
