My Fanciful Accounts

Born on this day in 1954 was feminist, Kim Gandy.

She sued the U.S. Air Force for sex discrimination and, after nine years of litigation, won a $184,000 judgment.

In 1991 Gandy also directed the Women Elect 2000 Project, designed as a prototype for registering and mobilizing female voters in Louisiana.

Gandy was the president of the National Organization for Women from 2001 until 2009.

She has identified Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as “one of my heroes.”
