Jeannette Rankin, America's Conscience*

by Norma Smith preface by Joan Hoff introduction by Kathryn Anderson

Suffragist, social worker, lifelong peace activist, and tireless advocate for political reform, Jeannette Rankin is often remembered as the first woman elected to the United States Congress and as the only Congressperson who voted "no" to U.S. involvement in both world wars. Rankin's determined voice shines in this biography, written by her friend, Norma Smith.
