By 1970, redistricting, women's greater educational and employment opportunities, and the feminist movement were beginning to make an impact on New Jersey politics. Millicent Fenwick (1910-1992), New Jersey's most well-known woman politician apart from Governor Christine Todd Whitman, emerged during this period. Fenwick, who lived most of her life in Bernardsville, was a former model and writer for Vogue magazine, who first became involved in politics when she volunteered for the campaign of Republican Senator Clifford Case in 1954. Fenwick subsequently served on the Bernardsville Borough Council from 1958 to 1964, and from 1958 to 1972 on the New Jersey Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, where she became aware of the concerns of African-American and Hispanic voters. Millicent Fenwick was elected to the New Jersey Assembly in 1969, and in 1974, to the U.S. House of Representatives.
