Early life and education

Oppenheimer was born on December 13, 1934, in New York City. She attended The Calhoun School in Manhattan. She graduated B.A. in economics from the Connecticut College for Women, and later earned a master's degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Business. After receiving her degree, she worked on Wall Street as an industry analyst for L.F. Rothschild.

Career

She entered politics as a Democrat, and was President of the Mamaroneck League of Women Voters, and President of the PTA of the Central School in Mamaroneck. She served four terms as Mayor of the Village of Mamaroneck, as well as President of the Westchester Municipal Officials Association and President of the Westchester Municipal Planning Federation.
