First Female VP candidate Geraldine Ferraro dies at 75
Quote:
BOSTON – The first woman to run for U.S. vice president on a major party ticket has died. Geraldine Ferraro was 75.
A family friend acting as a spokeswoman for the family say Ferraro, who was diagnosed with blood cancer in 1998, died Saturday at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Ferraro was an obscure New York City congresswoman when she was catapulted to national prominence at the 1984 Democratic convention. Walter Mondale chose her to run with him against incumbents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush.
