WaPo Former congresswoman #PatriciaSchroeder, a #megaphone for the #WomensMovement, the first woman to serve on the #House Armed Services Committee and a #liberal #Democrat known for her barbed wit, notably coining the term #Teflon #President to lambaste President Ronald Reagan, died March 13 at a hospital in Celebration, Fla. She was 82. https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2023/03/13/patricia-schroeder-colorado-congresswoman-dead/

I interviewed #PatriciaSchroeder as a student journalist for my college newspaper 30 years ago.
