Meet Jeannette Rankin, portrayed by Carol Simon Levin, America's first female member of Congress.

She will share the intertwined stories of women's suffrage activism, war service, and the political calculus that finally brought the support of President Wilson, the U.S. Congress, and state legislatures to achieve passage of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote.  This program demonstrates that women were not "given" the vote, but fought for it for generations.
