Description:
Born to privilege in 19th century Montana, Jeannette Rankin found her passion working for child labor and welfare reform. Humanitarian, pacifist, and tireless advocate for social reform, Jeannette Rankin became the first woman elected to U.S. Congress, and the only member of Congress to vote against U.S. entry into both world wars. Ms. Bradbury brings Jeannette to life to tell about her journey from grass roots suffragist to being the first woman to participate in United State government. Hear in Jeannette’s own words her views on equality and government reform - words that ring true today.
