Jeannette Rankin
1880-1973
Pacifist  Suffragist Reformer


Pacifist, suffragist and tireless advocate for social reform, Jeannette Rankin was the first woman elected to U.S. Congress, and the only member of Congress to vote against U.S. entry into both world wars. Hear about her journey from grass roots suffragist to being the first woman to participate in United State government. Hear in her own words her views on equality and government reform - words that ring true today.


This is a 45 minute - 1 hour program presented in first person with time for questions and discussion.
 
  "You can take people as far as they will go, but you cannot take them as far as you would like them to go."
                                                                                         
Jeannette Rankin, 1968
