}}Anna Lee Keys Worley (1876 - 1961) was the first woman elected to the Tennessee Senate, representing Sullivan County.[1]

Worley served as a Democrat in the Tennessee Senate beginning January 25, 1921. She was elected in a special election to replace her recently deceased husband.[1]

One historian wrote that Worley "succeeded her antisuffragist husband in the Tennessee state senate and promptly used her powers to sponsor legislation to remove civil disabilities against Tennessee's women".[2]{{rp|119}}

Worley left the Senate in 1923 after serving one term. She lived to age 95.[1]
