Martha Layne Collins: Kentucky's First Female Governor
Martha Layne Collins, the first and only woman to serve as governor of Kentucky, passed away on Saturday at the age of 88.
According to Bill Straub, a reporter for NKyTribune, Collins was a reticent politician who was "always guarded, rarely forthcoming" during her time in the public eye.
She was more ice than fire during her long tenure in the public eye.
Despite her reserved nature, Collins was able to win elections and lead a successful administration from 1983 to 1987. One of her notable achievements was bringing Toyota to Kentucky.
Collins' legacy will be remembered in history as a significant milestone for women in politics.
