The 2013 Inductees
Rosa DeLauro is the U.S. Representative of Connecticut’s 3rd district since 1990 and a long-time champion of women’s causes. Soon after earning degrees from Marymount College, the London School of Economics and Columbia University, DeLauro followed her parents’ footsteps into public service, serving as the first Executive Director of EMILY’S List, a national organization dedicated to increasing the number of women in elected office. She also served as Executive Director of Countdown ’87, the national campaign that successfully stopped U.S. military aid to the Nicaraguan Contras, and as Chief of Staff to U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd. Since her election to Congress, DeLauro has continually supported women’s health policy issues and food safety initiatives. Recently, she reintroduced a bill for paycheck fairness to end wage discrimination against women. In 2000, DeLauro established the “Rosa’s Readers” program to encourage children in the 3rd district to develop a lifelong love for reading and learning. She currently serves in the Democratic leadership as co-chair of the Steering and Policy Committee, and is the ranking member on the Labor, Health, Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittee. A lifelong resident of New Haven, DeLauro splits her time between Washington, D.C. and her Congressional district.
Barbara Hackman Franklin has served within five Presidential administrations and led the first White House effort to recruit women for high-level government jobs. As the 29th U.S. Secretary of Commerce in the administration of President George H.W. Bush, she achieved a major goal –increasing American exports – with emphasis on market-opening initiatives in China, Russia, Japan and Mexico. Her historic mission to China in 1992 normalized commercial relations with that country and removed the ban on ministerial contact that the U.S. had imposed following the events at Tiananmen Square in 1989. As a staff assistant to President Richard Nixon, Franklin spearheaded a campaign to recruit women for high-level government jobs, which resulted in tripling the number of women in those positions. Franklin also served as one of the original Commissioners and first Vice Chair of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission from 1973-1979. Franklin currently resides in both Washington, D.C. and Bristol, CT. Franklin is President and Chief Executive Officer of Barbara Franklin Enterprises, a private international consulting firm headquartered in Washington, DC. She is an advocate for and adviser to American companies doing business in international markets, notably China, and is an expert on corporate governance, auditing, and financial reporting practices. Franklin has served on the board of directors of 14 public companies and is currently a board member of Aetna, Inc. In 2006, Franklin received the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service.

The 2013 Inductees
Linda Koch Lorimer, Vice President for Global and Strategic Initiatives of the University at Yale, has devoted her career to higher education. A graduate of Yale Law School and Hollins University, she has served as senior counselor to Yale President Levin for twenty years and the leader of important institutional priorities, including Yale’s New Haven Initiative and efforts to make Yale recognized as a global university. Devoted to women’s education, she was President of Randolph-Macon Woman’s College and served as President of the Women’s College Coalition. She was Chair of the Board of the Association of American Colleges and Universities and she currently is Vice Chair of the Global Agenda Council (based in Switzerland) devoted to envisioning “The Future of Universities.” Lorimer has been a committed volunteer, serving on the board of more than a dozen non-profits, including current service as a director of Save the Children, Yale-New Haven Hospital and Hollins University. She has been a director of four public corporations and served as the first Presiding Director of the McGraw-Hill Corporation, one of the few women to hold such a post. Lorimer was awarded the Order of Merit by the Government of Argentina for advancing international education (2003), and the Sandra Day O’Connor Award for board excellence (2008). She has received four honorary degrees for her efforts to advance women.
Augusta Lewis Troup was a typesetter, journalist, educator and suffragist who advocated for minority rights. Born in New York in 1848 and orphaned in infancy, Troup entered the newspaper industry shortly after her schooling. While working for New York newspapers, Troup joined with suffragists Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton to promote the rights of working women. During her time in New York, Troup also became interested in social justice issues while visiting the tenement houses and factories. At the age of 20, Troup formed the Women’s Typographical Union Local No. 1 (WTU) of New York and advertised the WTU in Anthony and Stanton’s suffragist newspaper, the Revolution. In 1869, Troup attended the International Typographical Union (ITU) convention and argued before male delegates to allow women to join the ITU. Troup was successful, and was even elected Corresponding Secretary of the ITU in 1870. She was the first woman to hold office in any international union, and the first and only woman to hold the office of corresponding secretary of the ITU. In 1872, she married Alexander Troup, a member of Typographical Union No. 6, and they moved to New Haven. Together, the couple started the New Haven Union, a paper dedicated to women’s suffrage, union organization and the rights of ethnic minority groups. Later, Troup also became a teacher and member of the Board of Education in the New Haven school system. Troup passed away in 1920, and in 2008 the renovated Augusta Lewis Troup School in New Haven was dedicated in her honor.
