"A History of Trousers and Pants in Western Culture
...
Until the 20th century,
Western culture restricted the wearing of pants as an essential garment to men. Before the 20th century, women wore loose pantalettes or drawers under dresses for modesty and warmth. Though actual pants were sometimes seen on women in the late 1800s and in the early part of the 20th century,
it was not until the 1970s that the wearing of trousers by women was accepted for business or dress occasions.
The phrase "who wears the pants in the family," refers to the head of that family and
equates the wearing of pants with power and masculinity."
