The U.S. Capitol has named two rooms after female senators for the first time ever

Former Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., surrounded by senators, jokes about having a podium her size during the room dedication ceremony in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. She retired in 2017 after 45 years in Congress.

Sens. Barbara Mikulski and Margaret Chase Smith couldn't wear pants or use the main bathroom during their tenures, when female senators were scarce. Rooms in the Capitol now honor their legacies.
