Joanna Come Lately, Outside, Bella Abzug

“I'm no Joanna come lately, believe me, I've been here all along – outside.” - Bella Abzug, on being elected to U.S. House of Representatives in 1971; three-term U.S. Congresswoman from New York, known both for the unconventional contents of her cranium and her penchant for placing ladylike chapeaux on it.

Found in Wild Words from Wild Women: An Unbridled Collection of Candid Observations & Extremely Opinionated Bon Mots, Compiled by Autumn Stephens, page 55.
