Below is the first in a series of biographies from Mrs. Yollis' Class. Each student researched a person, wrote an informative report, and created a sculpture of the historic person.
Meet Dianne Feinstein
Dianne Feinstein is a U.S. Senator for California and works in the Legislative Branch. Senator Feinstein was born on June 22, 1933, as Dianne Emiel Goldman. As a young child, she attended an elite Roman Catholic High School even though she was the only Jewish person enrolled there.
After graduating from Stanford University in 1955, she gained her first political experience as an intern at the prestigious Coro Foundation. She was elected to the San Francisco County Board of Supervisors in 1969, and shortly thereafter married Berman Feinstein, a prominent brain surgeon. In 1978, she became the first woman elected Mayor of San Francisco.
Senator Feinstein entered the U.S. Senate in 1992, where she continues to serve today. She has earned a reputation for helping strengthen our nation’s security and as a protector of our environment. In addition to creating and helping to pass numerous important laws, Senator Feinstein’s greatest accomplishments include chairing the Senate Select Committee and presiding over the inauguration of President Obama.
In my opinion, Dianne Feinstein is a very intelligent woman who, in dedicating much of her life to serve the government, has made our country a better place to live.
