Minor firsts

Just as an editor created List of first African-American mayors, a few reinserted state-level firsts keep popping up in this list that's supposed to be of major, historic, national- and international-level firsts. This list is not meant to encompass, say, the first male and female governor, lt. gov, member of the state senate, speaker of the state senate, member of the state assembly, speaker of the state assembly, state supreme court judge and state supreme court head justice. That's just eight categories, times two (male and female) times 50 states (or more if you add territories), and that's 800 names. Even if only a quarter of those are currently applicable, that's 200 names.
