Sen. Dianne Feinstein, an 'icon for women in politics,' dies at 90, source confirms [View all]

Her career was one of many firsts. She was the first woman president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, the first woman mayor of San Francisco, and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.

"Dianne Feinstein, right from the start, was an icon for women in politics," said former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Senator Chuck Schumer adds, "She's a legend. A legend in California as the first woman senator. A legend in the Senate. She was the leader on so many different issues."

Maybe too soon, but I'm hoping for appointment of Maxine Waters by Gov. Newsom.
