| Description | (CNN) -- Geraldine Ferraro, the first and only woman nominated to the presidential ticket of a major U.S. political party, remains an inspiration to women aspiring to success in all walks of life.
As the Democratic Party's vice presidential nominee in 1984, Ferraro had come a long way from her upbringing as the daughter of working-class Italian immigrants.
"I went from being a kid who lost her father [at age 8] and who lived in the South Bronx to almost going in to live in the White House," said Ferraro, who will turn 70 in August and serves as president of the global consulting firm G&L Strategies. "That just tells you what this country is all about."
Fans and admirers often stop Ferraro when she's out in public, to tell her of their own success stories and to thank her for being a role model.
