Rep. Haas, in a recent address on the House floor, paid tribute to Emma Bolvin for her pioneering contributions to women's history. Haas stated, "Last week I honored Emma Bolvin on the House floor for Women’s History Month!" Bolvin's legacy is one of breaking barriers in state government, as she was "one of the first women to work in the Old State Capitol."
Acknowledging Bolvin's significant impact, Haas highlighted how "Her work organizing and preserving Illinois records laid the foundation for our incredible state library." Emma Bolvin's dedication to preserving historical records not only paved the way for future generations of women but also contributed to the rich tapestry of Illinois's history.
