		Annie Blanton's election in 1918 as state superintendent of public instruction represented the first time a Texas woman was elected to statewide office and symbolized, not coincidentally, the important role of education as an avenue for women's increasing political involvement.
		Thus, in a state long marked by educational squabbles and inequities, Texas women have fought for their access to substantial formal training, have forged important roles for themselves as educators in the state, and have used their educational opportunities to enhance their place in a variety of endeavors and as a conduit for improving society.
