Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on August 26, 1935)

Happy Birthday to the trailblazing Geraldine Ferraro! You made history in 1984 as the first woman vice presidential candidate from a major American political party, proving once and for all that politics isn't just a boys' club. Your groundbreaking campaign inspired generations of women—and gave comedians plenty of material about men finally having to ask for directions.

And let's not forget your diplomatic finesse at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights from 1993 to 1996. Navigating international diplomacy might be tough, but after surviving U.S. election campaigns, we're guessing it felt like a relaxing vacation! Cheers to you, Geraldine!
