Women lawmakers in the United States have historically had—and in some cases still have—difficulty finding adequate restroom facilities in legislative buildings.
This problem, often called "potty parity," is significant in both state legislatures and the U.S. Capitol, reflecting both outdated architecture and ongoing legislative neglect.[1][2][3]
In summary, the lack of adequate restroom facilities for women in U.S. legislative bodies is a persistent problem, well-documented by statistics and strongly voiced by both pioneering and current women legislators, with improvements uneven and ongoing across the nation.[7][1][2][3]
