Overview
In 1916, Jeannette Rankin was the first woman to be elected to the House of Representatives by the state of Montana. Known as a pacifist, her championed causes included gender equality and civil rights. This book celebrates the impact this influential suffragist had on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. She paved the way for such powerful women in politics such as Nancy Pelosi, Condoleezza Rice, Sandra Day O’Connor, and Hillary Clinton. This volume carefully examines Rankin’s childhood, education, early influences and reviews their goals and achievements. A timeline of events is included along with a glossary of terms which defines history-specific terms. Primary source photographs are included which round out his must-have book about this highly important and worldly individual.
