I'm sorry, but both responses you provided are incorrect.
Rebecca Latimer Felton was not the first woman in the United States to serve as a US senator. Hattie Caraway, Margaret Chase Smith, and Nancy Kassebaum all served as US senators before Felton.
She was not the wife of a Bourbon Democrat. She was married to William H. Felton, who was a Confederate Army officer and a politician, but not specifically a Bourbon Democrat.
She was not an African American. Rebecca Latimer Felton was a white woman.
The significant aspect about Rebecca Latimer Felton is that she was the first woman to serve in the United States Senate, although her term was only one day. She was appointed in 1922 to fill a vacant seat, making her a trailblazer for women in politics.
