This lesson explores the life and political activism of Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin, one of the most overlooked activists in American history. Starting in the Progressive Age, students will also examine her votes during WWI and WWII, and her opposition to the Vietnam War. Students will corroborate evidence through primary sources written by Rankin and others in her life to determine her core values. Ultimately, the summative assessment will be a creation of a textbook entry for Congresswoman Rankin, as she is often overlooked in history.
