A
Jeanette Rankin was born on a ranch in Montana
锛?/p>
USA in 1882. In those days
锛?/p>
Montana was
still a frontier state
锛?/p>
and life there was hard. Men and women shared the difficult outdoor work.
But
young
Jeanette
noticed
men
and
women
were
not
equal
in
many
ways.
For
instance
锛?/p>
at
election time
锛?/p>
women were not allowed to vote. Jeanette thought this was not fair
锛?/p>
and several
years later
锛?/p>
after graduating from college
锛?/p>
she realized how to help change the situation.
First
锛?/p>
she joined with other women. and gave speeches through the state. Thanks to their
years
of
efforts
锛?/p>
Montana
women
were
finally
allowed
to
vote.
This
experience
changed
Jeanette
鈥?/p>
s life. She wanted do work for the welfare of women and children everywhere. She was
now well-known throughout Montana
锛?/p>
so she decided to run for the US Congress. In 1916
锛?/p>
she
became the first woman in the Congress of the United Staters.
Just
six
days
after
Rankin
first
attended
Congress
in
1917
锛?/p>
American
President
Wilson
called
for
a
vote
to
go
to
war
against
Germany
锛?/p>
as
German
submarines
锛堟綔姘磋墖锛?/p>
attacked
American ships during World War I. When Jeanette was called upon to vote
锛?/p>
she said
锛?/p>
鈥?/p>
I want to
stand by my country
锛?/p>
buy I cannot vote for war.I vote no.
鈥?/p>
Forty-nine other congress members
also voted no
锛?/p>
but she was the person who was criticized most. Newspapers said her decision came
from weakness and she was anti-American.
In the Second World War
锛?/p>
Japanese warplanes attacked the American base at Pearl Harbor
in 1941. The time came again for the US Congress members to vote for or against going to war.
Everyone was waiting for Jeanette Rankin to vote
锛?/p>
who rose and said
锛?/p>
鈥?/p>
As a woman
锛?/p>
I can
鈥?/p>
t go to war
锛?/p>
so I refuse to send anyone else
鈥?/p>
.Out of 471 members
锛?/p>
she was the only member who
voted against war. After that
锛?/p>
she received thousands of letters. Most people criticized her
锛?/p>
but
some praised her for her courage.
Shortly before she died in 1973, she was asked if she regretted voting
鈥?/p>
no
鈥?/p>
to the two wars.
鈥?/p>
Never
锛?/p>
鈥?/p>
she answered.
鈥?/p>
If you are against war
锛?/p>
you
鈥?/p>
re against war regard less of what happens.
