The silver-haired, silver-tongued Richards said she entered politics to help others — especially women and minorities who were often ignored by Texas' male-dominated establishment. "I did not want my tombstone to read, 'She kept a really clean house.' I think I'd like them to remember me by saying, 'She opened government to everyone,'" Richards said shortly before leaving office in January 1995. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060914/ap_on_re_us/obit_ri... Ann Richards is an inspiration to fiery, contrarian women everywhere. Thanks for paving the way for us, Ann. You will not be forgotten. |
