Rest in Peace, Geraldine Ferraro
This past Saturday, Geraldine Ferraro died. She was a hero for many because she was the first major female vice presidential candidate in the United States. I was twelve years old at the time — a bit too young to understand all the politics, but old enough to know that Geraldine Ferraro had taken a huge step personally and on behalf of women and all who struggle for equality in human rights. She was daring, a smart, engaging woman who was ready to take on the challenge. She was my hero.
I’ve been reading Tweets about Ferraro and wanted to share a few with you in her honor

“ain’t gonna let nobody turn me around!”
she was amazing and i loved her for what she was doing when she ran. that love and respect stayed with me all these years.
She just rocked in so many ways. I have never been much with politics but she was someone who got me to pay attention.
I remember her pre election debate ~ she clearly won that dabate, hands down! We were all watching in amazement …. we were also watching in amazement as all the talking heads said that she had clearly lost the debate! I guess they were not ready for Geraldine … we were! God Bless her soul!
