Jeannette Rankin (1880-1973)
She was the first ever woman to serve in the US Congress when she was elected in 1916.
You don’t think that’s impressive?
Well, it most certainly was. Because this was four years before women had the right to vote in America.

put down your current issues,
everyone needs to focus on the MOST DANGEROUS issue,
the orange faced rapist and his weaponized government
before it's too late.
Just sayin'
It took her another twenty years for her to return to Congress, just in time to be the sole vote against the Declaration of War for WWII and again be voted out of Congress.
