We must remember our herstory:

Assemblywoman Sarah Reyes, D-Fresno, recalled the brass bell [California's first female state senator Rose Ann] Vuich kept on her desk and rang every time the Senate's presiding officer addressed the body as "Gentlemen."
"Rose Ann picked up that bell and she rang it loudly every time they said 'Gentlemen of the Senate.' She tried to break them of that habit and she did," Reyes said.
