Definición

  • Jeannette Rankin (1880–1973) was the first woman to serve in Congress. A suffragist and pacifist, she ran for the House at a time when only a handful of states allowed women to vote and as the nation was about to enter World War I. (See Women in Congress.) Born into a family that believed in education for women and political activism, Rankin graduated from the University of Montana and went on to study social work at the New York School of Philanthropy.
