Following the historic confirmation of Elena Kagan, the White House Council on Women and Girls asked you to tell us about other path-breaking women. In collaboration with GOOD, we asked: How do the women you know continue to break barriers?
Here’s what some of our Twitter and Facebook fans had to say:
Katy Ferry My mother, Andrea Pennington, was the first female judge in Mobile County, AL.
Kittura Dior The late Dr. C. DeLores Tucker was the first African American woman to serve as Secretary of State (under Governor Milton Shapp) of PA in the 1970s. She was also my great-aunt.
