"Force is not a first resort, but it's certainly a last resort." Geraldine Ferraro
Ferraro was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1984, when Democratic Presidential candidate Walter Mondale tapped her to be his running mate. This made her the first woman to be on the presidential ticket of a major political party in the history of the United States.
She was not, however, the only woman Mondale had considered for a running mate. He had also interviewed then-Kentucky Governor Martha Layne Collins, as well as then-San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein. In fact, Mondale had also interviewed Tom Bradley, who is black and was the then-Mayor of Los Angeles.
