"Jeannette Rankin, born on the Montana frontier in 1880, lived long enough to speak her mind on national television in the 1970s. ... In 1916 she ran for U.S. Congress and won -- the first congresswoman in U.S. history. ... "Rediscovered" in the 1960s, she became a heroine for feminists and Vietnam peace activists. -- Jacket flap
