Timeline

1917

Sophie Masloff (née Friedman; December 23, 1917 – August 17, 2014) was an American politician.

Masloff was born Sophie Friedman on December 23, 1917 to Romanian Jewish parents Jennie and Louis Friedman in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Her father, an insurance salesman, died when she was two years old.

She had two sisters and a brother from her mother's previous marriage.

She spoke only Yiddish until she began attending elementary school.

1935

She graduated from Fifth Avenue High School in 1935, and began a job as clerk in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas in 1938, where she stayed for 38 years.

1970

As one of two females on council in the 1970s she was often witness to Councilwoman Michelle Madoff's colorful arguments.

After a years long fight by Madoff to have the one restroom that was available to City Council at the Pittsburgh City Hall redesigned to be used in a uni-sex fashion Masloff was invited to a "toilet party" by Madoff to celebrate her success.

Masloff did not attend, later commenting to the press: "What the hell do I care about her toilet? I got more important things to do."

1976

In January 1988, Masloff was elected president of the city council.

Just four months later, mayor Richard Caliguiri died in office on May 6, 1988.

According to the city charter, the city council president stood first in the line of succession, so Masloff automatically became mayor.

1989

Masloff served out the remainder of Caliguiri's term, and was unopposed in a bid for a full term in November 1989.

She was the first woman and the first Jew to hold the post.

1993

Masloff declined to run for a second full term in the 1993 election and retired to her home in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood in 1994.

1996

After stepping down as mayor, she served as a Presidential Elector for Pennsylvania in 1996 and was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention from Pennsylvania in 2000 and 2004.

She also appeared in advertisements for Bruegger's and Schneider's Dairy.

2007

In 2007 a street near PNC Park was named Sophie Masloff Way in honor of Masloff at her 90th birthday.
