My Take
Pat Schroeder is one of those figures I genuinely wish more people knew about, because her story is kind of remarkable. She won a seat in Congress representing Colorado in 1973 — at a time when almost no women were there — and just kept showing up, for 24 years straight. She was sharp, funny, and unapologetically outspoken, the kind of politician who coined the phrase "Teflon president" about Reagan and meant it. She also took a serious run at the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination, which was a genuinely brave thing to do. Beyond politics she was a lawyer and a teacher, racking up the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1995 and the Margaret Brent Award in 1996. She passed away in March 2023 at 82, and the political world quietly lost one of its more honest voices.
