Madge Enterline was an American politician from Casper, Wyoming, who served in the Wyoming House of Representatives from 1949 to 1953,[a] representing Natrona County as a Republican in the 30th and 31st Wyoming Legislatures.[1][2][3]
Enterline, along with representative Frank Mockler from Fremont County, introduced a bill known as the "Woman Jury Bill", which was supported by many women's organizations throughout the state. The bill was signed by governor Arthur G. Crane on February 19, 1949, and went into effect on January 1, 1950. The bill stated that anyone would be allowed to serve as a juror, provided they were a United States citizen, state and county resident, owner of taxable property, and fluent in English.[4]
