Kathleen C. Hochul became the first woman to become New York's Governor after predecessor Andrew Cuomo resigned over allegations of sexual harassment. "Today, for the first time in New York history, a woman will enter that arena as governor," Hochul said during her address, adding that she was "willing to be bloodied and marred in the pursuit of doing what's right for the people of this great state," reported The NY Times.
