Nancy Pelosi, Betty Ford Join Women's Hall of Fame
SENECA FALLS, N.Y. October 12, 2013 (AP)
By CAROLYN THOMPSON Associated Press
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, the late former first lady Betty Ford and Title IX advocate Bernice Sandler were among the nine women inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame Saturday.
The ceremony, attended by about 700 people, was held in Seneca Falls, the western New York village where the first known women's rights convention was held in 1848.
"Our mission is to share the stories of these women with the general population and to inspire future generations to their own greatness," the hall's deputy director, Amanda Bishop, said after the ceremony.
Also honored Saturday was "Sexual Politics" author Kate Millett; horse racing's most successful female jockey, Julie Krone; Ina May Gaskin, who is known as the "mother of authentic midwifery"; and monetary scholar Anna Jacobson Schwartz, who collaborated with Nobel laureate Milton Friedman on "A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960," published in 1963. She died last year.
