Geraldine Ferraro Passes Away
Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman to run on a major party national ticket for vice president and the woman who opened the gate for other female politicians such as Sarah Palin has died. She was 75.
Palin wrote a tribute to Ferraro on her facebook page :
"My family and I would like to express our sincere condolences to the family of Geraldine Ferraro. When I had the honor of working alongside Geraldine on election night last year, we both discussed the role of women in politics and our excited expectation that someday that final glass ceiling would be shattered by the election of a woman president. She was an amazing woman who dedicated her life to public service as a teacher, prosecutor, Congresswoman, and Vice Presidential candidate. She broke one huge barrier and then went on to break many more. The world will miss her. May she rest in peace and may her example of hard work and dedication to America continue to inspire all women. ~ Sarah Palin"
