New US Congress makes history with record number of women
New US legislators were sworn in on Thursday, with a number of "firsts" taking their seats in the 116th Congress.
Democrats assumed majority control of the House of Representative, while Republicans kept their hold on the Senate.
Nancy Pelosi, who was elected speaker of the House, said in a USA Today interview that the new Congress will represent a "different world".
Among those sworn in is a record number of women, including the first Muslim women, as well as the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.
Here's a look at the 'firsts' taking their seats in Congress:
Big day for women in the US.
No, big day for THOSE women. Contrary to your misogynist views, all women are not drone slaves to a hive mind.
