Remembering Geraldine Ferraro

Geraldine Ferraro, the first major female vice presidential candidate, passed away on March 26 at the age of 75.

She was the woman my mother and countless others referenced when they told their daughters they could do anything.

I was not even alive when Ferraro accepted the nomination for vice president in 1984, but the momentousness of the occasion still resonates in her acceptance speech.
