The California Democratic senator Dianne Feinstein, who blazed a trail for women in US politics, has died. She was 90.
For Democrats, news of the death of the first woman to represent California in the US Senate, who was also the longest-serving female senator in US history, has appropriately weighty political implications.
Faced with growing questions about her age and fitness, Feinstein was due to retire at the end of her term.
