The last time two women led a House committee, the year was 1977 and the panel was the Select Committee on the House Beauty Shop.
Forty-two years later, another female duo is in control.
This time it’s one of the most powerful committees in Congress — the House Appropriations Committee — which is at the center of congressional power and spending.
Rep. Nita Lowey, a New York Democrat, is the committee’s first female chair in history, and Rep. Kay Granger of Texas its first female ranking Republican.
