Dan Valentine: Most American women wear pants these days … Folks think nothing about it. It hasn't always been so in the United States. Back about 100 years or so ago, the public frowned on any woman brave enough to wear trousers. The first American female to make a big to-do about wearing pants was Dr. Mary Walker. In fact, she raised such a fuss about her right to wear trousers that the US Congress passed special legislation giving her the legal right to wear pants. Dan Valentine, "Spirit of America"
