I know Fanny Wright is credited to be the first woman to wear pants publicly in the early 1800s but women have been wearing pants since time immemorial. Ancient artwork depicts warrior women wearing pants to the battleground. Joan of Arc famously wore pants to the battleground and this was part of the reason she was dubbed a witch and burned at the stake. According to history, between 400 to 700 women wore pants and posed as men to serve as soldiers in the American Civil war.
