Merilee D. Karr, MD, MFA<p>The first semi-public restrooms in the US appeared in the late 1800s, in bars, to keep drinkers drinking.</p><p>For women, the first public gender-segregated "comfort stations" came in the early 1900s; but only for white women.</p><p>Those facilities acknowledged women's hard-won right to be out in public. </p><p>Now US cities have vanishingly few public restrooms. Does that signal that NO ONE has the right to be out and about in public?</p><p><a href="https://daily.jstor.org/in-the-ladies-loo/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">daily.jstor.org/in-the-ladies-</span><span class="invisible">loo/</span></a><br><a href="https://federated.press/tags/sanitationjustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sanitationjustice</span></a> <br><a href="https://federated.press/tags/publicrestrooms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publicrestrooms</span></a><br>phlush.org</p>
