AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the longest-serving woman in the Senate, died Thursday night — Sept. 28, 2023 — at the age of 90.
The California Democrat first came to the Senate in 1992 after serving as the first woman mayor of San Francisco. Feinstein was a trailblazer for women, becoming the first woman to head the Senate Intelligence Committee and the first woman to serve as the Judiciary Committee’s top Democrat.
Here are some photos from the Roll Call archives of Feinstein’s long tenure on Capitol Hill.
