Jump to
Helen Ruth Henderson (November 9, 1898 – February 20, 1982) was a Virginia schoolteacher and politician. The daughter of Helen Timmons Henderson, she was elected to her mother's old seat in the Virginia House of Delegates, entering in 1928 and serving one term. This made the two the first mother-daughter pair to serve in the Virginia General Assembly and, indeed, in any state legislature; they were followed soon after by Nellie Nugent Somerville and Lucy Somerville Howorth of Mississippi.
