(NP - or is it?) Bella Abzug

[kelber at mindspring.com]

They met in high school, became good friends when they both attended Hunter College, and were anti-war activists together in Women Strike for Peace. When Bella decided to run for congress, she asked my mother to be her speechwriter, and they continued a close collaboration until Bella died (several years before my mother).
