A take-charge girl blazes a trail to congress : the story of Jeannette Rankin / Gretchen Woelfle ; illustrated by Rebecca Gibbon

Woelfle, Gretchen, (author.). Gibbon, Rebecca, (illustrator.).

Summary:
"Jeannette Rankin was always a take-charge girl. Whether taking care of horses or her little brothers and sisters, Jeannette knew what to do and got the job done. That's why, when she saw poor children living in bad conditions in San Francisco, she knew she had to take charge and change things. But in the early twentieth century, women like Jeannette couldn't vote to change the laws that failed to protect children. Jeannette became an activist and led the charge, campaigning for women's right to vote. And when her home state, Montana, gave women that right, Jeannette ran for Congress and became America's first congressWOMAN!"-- Provided by publisher.
