The KalakalDemocratic women of Congress dressed up for Donald Trump's first address Tuesday night, but it was to make a strong statement.

Dozens dressed in white and filled the rows of seats right in Trump's line of vision to call out for women's rights.

Their color choice dates back to the suffragettes of the early 1900s, who were known for wearing white while campaigning to bring voting rights to women. Democratic nominee for president Hillary Clinton also wore white to her speech at the Democratic National Convention, as well as to Trump's inauguration.

The outfits may indeed be a statement and nod to equality for women, but they were also a noticeable way to call out Trump's treatment of women right in front of him, as House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and others teased out leading up to the speech.

The women in white didn't stay quiet either. Many booed and gave Trump the thumbs down as he talked, while Pelosi herself simply shook her head in disdain.
