Abstract

Dianne Feinstein had already made history back in 1978, when she became the first woman elected to lead the San Francisco board of supervisors, effectively setting the agenda for the legislative arm of the country's eighth largest economy at the time. Senator Dick Durbin, by no means a radical in his caucus, and Feinstein's successor as the top Democrat on the powerful Judiciary Committee, made clear how much the narrative had shifted. Before reaching Milk's office, the gunman had killed Mayor George Moscone, leaving a vacuum that demanded Feinstein immediately rise to become the first woman to lead San Francisco.
