 Series

Scope and Contents

Magazine and newspaper articles, sketches and clippings, written by others, following Grasso's political career and personal life. Some of the themes discussed are Grasso's ability to be a successful politician and a devoted mother and wife. Attention is paid to the fact that she was not a feminist and had pro-life beliefs in spite of the pressure from women's organizations. Included is a tribute book, "Ella," prepared by the Democratic State Central Committee of Connecticut as part of the funeral services.
