Remember with me this day, this woman who is often neglected

from the conversation when we discuss the role of women in modern politics. That glass ceiling already had more than a few cracks in it before this election season, and this woman was in a large part responsible.

For those of you not familiar with her, please read this brief bio and take note of her impressive accomplishments and contributions to our party and this country. Thank you.
