COUNTRY Celebrates International Women’s Day by Honoring Anne Miller, The First Female Rep 

“Gentlemen! There’s a lady present!” - CLIC Magazine, April 15, 1936

In 1936, Anne Miller of Amboy, IL in Will County became the first COUNTRY female rep. She appeared on the cover of CLIC Magazine (“a little magazine to help insurance salesmen click”) in the same year. According to the March issue, Miller held the production record for Country Life and was a member of the General Agent Club—an exclusive club for agents who could write more than 15 applications in a single month.

Nearly 90 years later, COUNTRY now boasts female leaders throughout the entire organization. Our female reps proudly carry out Miller’s legacy and consistently lead in production, win awards, and serve our clients. On International Women’s Day, we commemorate Miller’s achievements and celebrate under the 2025 theme, “For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.”

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality.
