So who are these new ladies?
Claire McCaskill: Democratic Senator from Missouri and advocate for women’s health
Elizabeth Warren: The Harvard Law professor who drove out Republican Scott Brown in the Massachusetts Senate race after slamming him for voting against equal pay for equal work.
Tammy Baldwin: The Wisconsin senator and longtime congresswoman who is the first openly gay person in the senate.

Those reelected include Maria Cantwell (Wash), Dianne Feinstein (Calif), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), Amy Klobuchar (Minn), and Debbie Stabenow (Mich).
