Timeline

1915

In the final, she won just 52% of the vote and took her seat for a four-year term as the youngest council member ever elected and only the second woman—the first having been Estelle Lawton Lindsey in 1915.

1922

Her Chicago-born mother became a pharmacist as well, despite never pursuing higher education, so she could co-run the drugstore the family had at 9th Street and Western Avenue (in today's Koreatown), which included a 22-seat lunch counter.

Her mother had also worked as a volunteer at the juvenile hall in Los Angeles, where a room was named in her honor.

She also served as a precinct captain for Franklin Delano Roosevelt's first presidential campaign.

Rosalind learned how to add by helping work her parents' cash register and serving ice cream to patrons.

Wiener Wyman consistently ran for office in grade school, earning a position while at Los Angeles High School.

One of her early political inspirations was Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas, and while still in high school, she chose to do a report on her.

1930

Rosalind Wiener Wyman (October 4, 1930 – October 26, 2022) was an American politician, Los Angeles City Councilmember, and California Democratic political figure who, at 22 years old, was the youngest person ever elected to the Los Angeles City Council, and only the second woman to serve there.

Her City Council tenure ran 12 years, representing the city's Fifth District.

Wyman was highly influential in bringing the Brooklyn Dodgers from New York to Chavez Ravine, Los Angeles.

Rosalind Wiener was born October 4, 1930, in Los Angeles to Oscar and Sarah (née Selten) Wiener.

Her father was a Russian immigrant who came to the country as a stowaway; after arriving, he put himself through pharmacy school.

1948

Rosalind graduated in 1948, subsequently attending the University of Southern California.

During this time, she was able to seek out Gahagan Douglas and volunteer on her Senate campaign.

1952

She graduated from USC in 1952 with a Bachelor of Science degree in public administration.

1953

After college, she gained employment as a recreation director and made plans to go to law school but before that could happen, she deferred enrollment to campaign for Adlai Stevenson, and was subsequently elected to the City Council in 1953.

In 1953, Rosalind Wiener campaigned in the 5th District to succeed Councilman George P. Cronk, with the aid of a swarm of University of Southern California students, and she "pulled a surprise" to finish first in the primary election, ahead of public accountant Elmer Marshrey.

The first resolution Wyman introduced in the council a week after she was seated in 1953 called on the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission to permit the local American Legion to stage a baseball game in the Coliseum as a demonstration that the venue would be "a proper place to stage major league baseball."

1954

Wiener Wyman married attorney Eugene Wyman in 1954, and they had three children: Betty Lynn, Robert, and Brad.

The family were Conservative Jews.

1957

She was reelected in the primaries in 1957 and 1961.

1958

In 1958 she was named the City Council's first representative on the Coliseum Commission as a result of a referendum vote by citizens that the council should be represented along with the city Recreation and Parks Department, the county Board of Supervisors, and the state's 6th Agricultural District.

At that time the Dodgers were preparing the stadium to use as a temporary field before Chavez Ravine was ready.

During her tenure, Wyman worked to ban horror comics from public sale in drugstores and "other places frequented by children".

She also urged the abolition of commissions with any authority over departments and installing "appeal and advisory boards" in their place.

Wyman was chosen "Woman of the Year" for 1958 by the Los Angeles Times.

By the end of her third term, Wyman had emerged as enough of a leader on the council that she was elected president pro tem.

Wyman remained attached to the Dodgers and purchased eight season tickets directly through owner Walter O'Malley, paid for by her husband's law firm.

1965

She was soundly beaten, though, by Edmund D. Edelman in her fourth council campaign of 1965.

One writer opined that it was Wyman's stand on the council to turn over Chavez Ravine to the baseball Dodgers, and the resulting expulsion of displaced residents, most of them Mexican-Americans, that was "a major—if not decisive— reason" for her loss.

Another said it was "a bitter battle with Mayor Sam Yorty" that "brought about her defeat."

She had become a vocal critic of Yorty, to the extent that a columnist wrote, 'their vendetta has replaced the La Brea Tar Pits as one of our major tourist attractions.' "

1973

Eugene Wyman, who was also influential in national Democratic politics, died of a heart attack in January 1973.

Wiener Wyman died on the evening of October 26, 2022, at her home in Bel Air.

She was 92 years old.

1975

In 1975, after she was widowed, she campaigned to win back her old seat, "but the race turned ugly when Wyman was attacked [...] as an out-of-touch imperialist, more impressed with her national endorsements than with local issues."

Wyman finished third, after Fran Savitch (Mayor Bradley's choice) and Zev Yaroslavsky, the eventual winner.

2019

She helped lead the successful campaigns of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and in 2019, was reported to be California's oldest DNC delegate.

She also served on the UNESCO Commission and sat on executive boards ranging from the National Endowment for the Arts to the Los Angeles County Arts Commission to the American Friends of the Hebrew University Board; she also acted as chairperson for a variety of entities, including the Community Relations Committee of the Los Angeles Jewish Community Council and the National Congressional Committee Dinner.

She was known for having been a vigorous proponent of multi-faith religious tolerance efforts.
