An inspiring history of all the women who have taken a seat in
Congress!  For the first 128 years of America’s history,
only men served in the Senate and House of Representatives. All
that changed in January 1917 when Jeannette Rankin was sworn in as
the first woman elected to Congress. From the women’s suffrage
movement to the 2018 election, Ilene Cooper highlights influential
and diverse female leaders who opened doors for women in politics.
Women featured include Nancy Pelosi (the first woman Speaker of the
House), Margaret Chase Smith (the first woman elected to the
Senate), Patsy Mink (the first woman of color to serve in the
House), and newcomers like Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
and Ilhan Omar. This updated book includes archival photographs and
lively illustrations from Elizabeth Baddeley, as well as a chart of
all the women who have served in Congress, appendices that define
key terms and governmental procedures, and an index. In a great new
reading format, this updated, revised edition is perfect for young
feminists!
