Madam Speaker: Betty Boothroyd | 60 Minutes Archive

Betty Boothroyd, the first female speaker of the British House of Commons, has died at the age of 93. Back in 1995 she told Morley Safer, “I have been a political animal since I came out of the womb, and as I got older, of course, even more so. But I love this House. I love our system of [the] way Parliament works.”

"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.
