Mildred P. Allen

Mildred Pomeranz Allen (November 7, 1907 – September 23, 1961) was an American politician. A Republican from Hartford, Connecticut, she was the first Jewish woman elected as Secretary of the State of Connecticut (1955–1959). Quotes I think I was really pretty shy, so that I didn’t perhaps get into as many things as I should have. Well, some people don’t know how to be lazy. I think some of them need to learn how. Oh, I think it’s been fun. I’ve always enjoyed the teaching very much -- seeing people grow and teaching them. That’s more important to me than putting myself on the map. On the other hand, I always had plenty to do as a teacher and I did as much as I could. As I said, I did all my own typing, but I did enjoy the teaching end of it.
