Before 1993, women weren’t allowed to wear pants on the Senate floor.
That changed when Sen. Moseley Braun (D-IL), & Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) wore trousers - shocking the male-dominated Senate. This eventually led to the dress code being clarified to allow women to wear pants.

@Sheril@mastodon.social That's nice to hear! ❤️ I guess no one can wear anything symbolizing Palestinian freedom and indepence.
