She came from a poor Irish Catholic family with big dreams. Not too many people know she attended school until 13 years-of-age but believed in life long education. Molly was a very vocal, independent, courageous, generous, and adventurous. She loved the arts and civic causes. Molly became the first woman to run for Congress.
