Controversial women’s Congresswoman Bella Abzug will address Family Service Association (FSA) of Wyoming Valley’s annual meeting, May 3. Chosen one of the 20 most influential women in the world in a 1977 Gallup poll, Abzug was recently relieved of her co- chairmanship of the National Advisory Com- mittee for Women by President Carter. Following six years in the U.S. Congress, she lost a very close race in the 1976 Democratic primary race for a U.S. Senate seat from New York. She ran for mayor of New York City in 1977, and then lost a 1978 special election for her from Manhattan’s East Side. Abzug’s House career saw her fight for mass transit, the environment, the elderly, the han- dicapped, and the State of Israel. Founder of the Caucus, she wrote the first law banning discrimination against women in obtaining credit, loans and mor- tgages. She helped write and Information and Privacy Acts and the ‘Government in the Sunshine’ Law, which opens government agencies to the public. ‘We are very happy to have obtained Ms. Abzug as a speaker for our annual meeting,” notes FSA president’ Morris Slater. ‘While she does not speak for Family Service, Bella is thought-provoking,’ the United Way member agency president adds.
