What a year it’s been for women! In 2018, women candidates broke the records for the number of candidates for governor, U.S. House and U.S. Senate—and that was prior to the 2018 midterm elections!
A record-breaking 90 women are expected to make their way to Washington in January 2019. This includes the first female and openly bisexual senator from Arizona (Kyrsten Sinema), the first female senators from South Dakota and Tennessee (Krisi Noem and Marsha Blackburn), and the first Native American and Muslim women to be elected to Congress (Deb Haaland, Sharice Davids, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar).
Lest we forget, we also got our youngest-ever woman elected to Congress.
But 2018 was also a watershed year for women on Twitter. Here are 45 of the funniest and best tweets by women this year:

This girl I used to go out with is still using my Netflix and that’s cool. She’s watching Scandal and is currently on S7E12. Series finale is S7E18. Guess who’s changing her password as soon as she gets to episode 17? Yep, it’s Petty Labelle.
