Description
Jeanette Rankin was the original nasty woman - the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress - before women had even secured the right to vote nationwide. A Republican from Montana, she was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1916, and again in 1940. As a lifelong pacificist, she was vilified for voting against WWI, and again for voting against WWII. She is noted for saying, "You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake." Also notable, "If I had my life to live over, I would do it all again, but this time I would be nastier." ❤️❤️❤️❤️.
