Frances Payne Bolton (geborene Frances Payne Bingham, * 29. März 1885 in Cleveland, Ohio; † 9. März 1977 in Lyndhurst, Ohio) war eine US-amerikanische Politikerin der Republikanischen Partei. Von 1940 bis 1969 war sie Mitglied des Repräsentantenhauses der Vereinigten Staaten für den 22. Kongressdistrikt des Bundesstaates Ohio. (de)
Frances Payne Bingham Bolton (March 29, 1885 – March 9, 1977) was a Republican politician from Ohio. She served in the United States House of Representatives. She was the first woman elected to Congress from Ohio. In the late 1930s Bolton took an isolationist position on foreign policy, opposing the Selective Service Act (the draft) in 1940, and opposing Lend-Lease in 1941. During the war she called for desegregation of the military nursing units, which were all-white and all-female. In 1947 she sponsored a long-range bill for nursing education, but it did not pass. When the draft was resumed after the war, Bolton strongly advocated the conscription of women. Pointing to their prominent role during the war, she said it was vitally important that women continue to play these essential roles. She saw no threat to marriage, and argued that women in military service would develop their character and skills, thus enhancing their role in the family. As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Bolton strongly supported the United Nations, especially UNICEF, and strongly supported the independence of African colonies. (en)
