    Geraldine Ferraro's Pride to be an Italian-American Woman (1935--2011)

    Gerladine Ferraro(March 26, 2011)
    Geraldine Ferraro died on March 26, 2011. Perhaps no one as yet, within our community of Italian Americans, has reached her plateau of being the first woman, as well as the first, and still only, Italian American to be a candidate for such a high office as the vice-presidency of the United States. In September 2009 Geraldine Ferraro was honored at the annual luncheon of the National Organization of Italian American Women (NOIAW), the only organization of its kind still today. In her speech to NOIAW and its many supporters, that we report here in full, she underscored the ethnic element of her political and personal life experience.
