JEANNETTE RANKIN: AMERICA'S FIRST CONGRESSWOMAN, a book for middle-grade readers and others who love American history, tells the inspiring true of a truly groundbreaking American woman.

Born on a ranch in Montana, Rankin was the first woman elected to Congress, in 1916, a full century before Hillary Clinton made her historic run for president. A devout pacifist, Rankin was the only member of Congress to vote against the U.S. fighting in World Wars I and II. Over the span of 60 years, she would become one of America's greatest feminists, pacifists and suffragists. Late in her life, Rankin led the Jeannette Rankin Brigade on a march in Washington against the Vietnam War. She fought for what she believed in. She never backed down.
