A HERO PASSES

Schroeder took on the powerful elite with her rapier wit and antics for 24 years, shaking up stodgy government institutions by forcing them to acknowledge that women had a role in government.

...Schroeder said she wasn’t willing to join what she called “the good old boys’ club” just to score political points. Unafraid of embarrassing her congressional colleagues in public, she became an icon for the #feminist movement.

I remember her. She was a CHAMPION for women in Congress.

Schroeder said legislators spent too much attention on contributors and special interests. When House Republicans gathered on the U.S. Capitol steps to celebrate their first 100 days in power in 1994, she and several aides clambered to the building’s dome and hung a 15-foot red banner reading, “Sold.” #ReproductiveFreedom #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights

Rest in power, thank you for all you did for women. #PatSchroeder #RIP #ColoradoPolitics #Colorado
