Congresswoman Jeanette Rankin, February 27, 1917
Montana Congresswoman Jeanette Rankin, the first woman to be elected to the U.S. House and the only member of Congress to have voted against a Declaration of War for World War One and World War Two.
Ms. Rankin was as pacifist and obviously had the courage of her convictions.
Her portrait, on this day, a century ago.
