BY KATHY BONK and ANDREA CAMP | Since the news broke about Pat Schroeder’s death on March 14, there have been thousands of tributes, obituaries, tweets and social media postings in her honor. They described her as a maverick, pioneer, feminist champion, trailblazer, fearlessly independent politician, and an icon and role model for many elected officials, men and women alike. We agree—but for the feminist movement, Pat Schroeder was much more. She was a member of Congress not just for the people in Denver, but for feminists across the United States.
As a tribute to her passing, Ms . editors first asked Ellen Goodman, an awarding winning syndicated columnist and close friend of Pat’s, to write a tribute. Goodman responded by suggesting we ask not just her, but others, to share their favorite Pat Schroeder stories. Several of us in the feminist community were lucky enough to call Pat Schroeder our friend, and we are proud to share tributes that go beyond the existing obituaries.
On March 22, 2023, the House of Representatives will honor Schroeder with a moment of silence, which will occur during or immediately after first votes at approximately 6:30 p.m. EDT. On this same day in 1992, the Congress passed a final Equal Rights Amendment resolution for the states to bring the ratification process.
In honor of this one minute—60 seconds—of silence, below find 60 stories from people who knew and admired Pat Schroeder.
