"Jeannette Rankin stands tall among American icons. The representative from Montana
won her seat at a time when women didn't have the right to vote in most states. Her
firm stances inspired both admiration and fury across party lines, and she gained
nearly canonical status among feminists and pacifists. In Jeannette Rankin: A Political
Woman, University of Montana professors James Lopach and Jean Luckowski demythologize
Rankin, showing her to be a talented and driven but deeply divided woman." ; "Until
now, no biography has explored Rankin's inconsistencies. The authors consulted the
correspondence of her family members and contemporaries, uncovering ties between her
politics and her familial and personal relationships. They reveal how she succeeded
through her wealthy brother's influence as well as her own extraordinary efforts;
how she drew inspiration not from her rural roots but from the radical hotbed of Greenwich
Village; and how she championed an independent, woman-centered life while deferring
to family."--Back cover
