. . . . . . . "O Ano da Mulher (Year of the Woman, em ingl\u00EAs) \u00E9 uma denomina\u00E7\u00E3o popular dada a 1992 devido ao n\u00FAmero recorde de mulheres eleitas para o Senado e a C\u00E2mara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos nas elei\u00E7\u00F5es daquele ano. Em 1991, as contestadas audi\u00EAncias de confirma\u00E7\u00E3o de Clarence Thomas para a Suprema Corte envolvendo as alega\u00E7\u00F5es de ass\u00E9dio sexual de Anita Hill levantou a quest\u00E3o do dom\u00EDnio dos homens no Senado. Naquele ano, a c\u00E2mara alta do Congresso norte-americano possu\u00EDa duas senadoras, mas nenhuma delas integrava o Comit\u00EA Judici\u00E1rio. A Senadora Estadual de Washington Patty Murray teria, alegadamente, decidido concorrer ao Senado ap\u00F3s assistir a essas audi\u00EAncias. Em um debate para a disputa presidencial ocorrido na Universidade de Richmond em meados de outubro de 1992, os candidatos foram questionados sobre quando seus respectivos partidos poderiam nomear uma mulher para a Presid\u00EAncia do pa\u00EDs. O Governador de Arkansas, Bill Clinton, respondeu: \"Bem, n\u00E3o tenho ideia, mas espero que aconte\u00E7a em algum momento da minha vida.\" O Presidente George H. W. Bush respondeu com menos entusiasmo, dizendo: \"Este \u00E9 supostamente o ano das mulheres no Senado. Vejamos como se saem. Espero que muitas delas percam.\" Em 1992, quase todas as candidatas de partidos principais ao Senado eram filiadas ao Partido Democrata. Em todo o pa\u00EDs, diversas mulheres venceram as prim\u00E1rias de seus partidos e, em 3 de novembro, 47 foram eleitas para a C\u00E2mara dos Representantes, sendo 24 pela primeira vez, e 4 para o Senado. Com isso, as mulheres passaram a representar 10,8 por cento dos integrantes da C\u00E2mara e 6 por cento do Senado. Em 3 de janeiro de 1993, o estado da Calif\u00F3rnia tornou-se o primeiro estado norte-americano a ser representado por duas mulheres no Senado. Quando as rec\u00E9m-chegadas se juntaram \u00E0s senadoras Nancy Kassebaum e Barbara Mikulski em janeiro de 1993, os principais escritores descreveram o acontecimento como \"O Ano da Mulher\". Em resposta, a Senadora Mikulski afirmou: \"Chamar 1992 de o Ano da Mulher soa como o Ano do Caribu ou o Ano dos Aspargos. N\u00E3o somos uma moda, uma fantasia ou um ano.\""@pt .

The term has also been used with respect to the 2018 House elections, in which a record 103 women were elected, 90 of whom were Democrats. The hotly contested Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas involving the allegations of Anita Hill raised the question of the dominance of men in the Senate. In 1991, the Senate included two female members, but neither Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas nor Barbara Mikulski of Maryland served on the Judiciary Committee. Reportedly, Washington State senate member Patty Murray decided to run for election after watching these hearings. While Murray set out to raise the necessary funds, two other women several hundred miles to the south in California began work on their own Senate campaigns. As a result, on January 3, 1993, for the first time in American history, California became the first state in the nation to be represented in the Senate by two women. In the 1992 elections, Dianne Feinstein, a former Democratic mayor of San Francisco, running for the balance of an uncompleted term, beat her opponent with a margin of nearly two million votes, while Barbara Boxer\u2014a 10-year veteran of the U.S. House of Representatives who had joined six of her Democratic women colleagues in a march on the Senate to urge greater attention to Anita Hill's charges\u2014solidly won a full term. At a presidential debate at the University of Richmond, President George H. W. Bush was asked when his party might nominate a woman for President. Bush brought up the media's catchphrase at the end of his response, saying \"This is supposed to be the year of the women in the Senate. Let's see how they do. I hope a lot of them lose.\" A week after the election, a popular Washington Post photograph illustrated the situation. Standing with exultant Democratic Majority Leader George Mitchell were not only Murray, Feinstein and Boxer but also Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois, the first black woman elected to the Senate. Never before had four women been elected to the Senate in a single election year. (Five, if Mikulski's successful re-election bid that year is counted.) Within months, another woman senator would join them: Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas, who won a special election in June 1993. When the newcomers joined incumbents Kassebaum and Mikulski in January 1993, headline-writers described the occurrence as \"The Year of the Woman.\" In response, Senator Mikulski said, \"Calling 1992 the Year of the Woman makes it sound like the Year of the Caribou or the Year of the Asparagus. We're not a fad, a fancy, or a year.\""@en . . . . . . . . . "5739"^^ . . . . . . . "Ano da Mulher"@pt . . . . . . . . . . .
