Ms. Sciallo was a fierce loyalist and advocate for the Equal Rights Amendment and the associated movement. As an English teacher, she made sure her students’ grammar was always tuned to the rhythm of Girl Power. Ms. Sciallo could easily define what it meant to be a woman, and she did so with unwavering strength every single day.

Like a master stone carver, there was no obstacle she couldn’t break through. By the time you finished her class, you not only understood how to respect women but also possessed near-perfect grammar.

Ms. Sciallo fiercely protected her fellow teachers through her union work, just as she protected the young women in her classroom.

Her teachings were grounded in common sense, compassion, care, grammar, and Girl Power—not necessarily in that order.

Her tough love created generations of students who loved her in return.
