Geraldine A. Ferraro, the former Queens congresswoman who in
1984 strode onto a podium to accept the Democratic nomination
for vice president to take her place in American history as
the first woman nominated for national office by a major
party, died on Saturday at Massachusetts General Hospital in
Boston. She was 75.
The cause was complications from multiple myeloma, a blood
cancer that she had battled for 12 years, her family said in
a statement.
