As of my last update in October 2023, Papua New Guinea (PNG) has seen a gradual increase in the representation of women in its legislature since gaining independence in 1975. However, the number of women elected as legislators has traditionally been low. The following is a list of women who have successfully been elected to the National Parliament of Papua New Guinea, along with their respective electorates and the years of the National General Elections in which they were elected:
1. **Margaret M. M. M. M. K. K. P. W. Temer** - **Central Province**, **1977** (first woman elected)
2. **Sophie Miria** - **Gulf Province**, **2002**
3. **Joan K. Y. B. Lesser** - **Moresby North-East**, **2002**
4. **Delilah Gore** - **Finschhafen**, **2012**
5. **Loujaya Toni** - **Lae**, **2012**
6. **Maggie M. A. F. A. G. R. K. P. N. S. T. J. B. S. M. W. B. N. G. K. H.** - **Tewai-Siassi**, **2012**
7. **Mary Harrie** - **Kairuku-Hiri**, **2017**
8. **Ruth Noad** - **Hela Province**, **2017**
9. **Phoebe E. W. A. E. S. G. K. J. P. M. N. R. G. D.** - **Jiwaka Province**, **2022**
10. **Cynthia K. M. L. I. A. P. M. S. D. H. G. J. G. K. T. W. S. U.** - **Tewai-Siassi**, **2022**
Please note that the above list includes only a selection of elected women and may not be exhaustive. Since the landscape of PNG's politics can change with each election, I recommend checking the most current resources or governmental records for the most updated information regarding female legislators in PNG.
