My source is this. They have a chart for every state.

The 2nd was the 9th before 1992.
A woman named Ruth Thompson first woman on the House Judiciary committee served between Engel and Griffin. Griffin beat her in the primary in 56. Griffin seems to have been a moderate. Maybe she was more a conservative.
Engel won in 1934, beat the 1 term rat.
Whoops.
