Lecture - The ‘70s: A Political Revolution in Colorado and Women’s Revolution Nationwide 7PM

At the advent of the 1970s, Colorado was one of the most politically conservative states in the country. That reputation changed as voters elected more progressive representatives and the women’s movement took off nationwide. In 1972 Coloradans elected the first woman to represent the state in the House of Representatives, a 32-year-old mother of two. Pat Schroeder went on to represent Congressional District #1 for twenty-four years.

History Colorado is proud to welcome former Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder as she recounts being “in the eye of this hurricane of change.”
