An easy-to-read and well-researched biography of an unconventional and determined woman that will inspire young readers.
"If I had my life to live over, I would do it all again, but this time I would be nastier." —Jeannette Rankin (1880-1973) Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to Congress, 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, James Lopach and Jean Luckowski demythologize Rankin, showing her to be a talented, driven, and deeply divided woman. Until now, no biography has explored Rankin's inconsistencies. The authors extensively 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. Revealing her complexities along with her accomplishments, Jeannette Rankin: A Political Woman will be the definitive biography of this path-breaking politician for years to come.
JEANNETTE RANKIN: AMERICA'S FIRST CONGRESSWOMAN, a book for middle-grade readers and others who love American history, tells the inspiring true of a truly groundbreaking American woman. Born on a ranch in Montana, Rankin was the first woman elected to Congress, in 1916, a full century before Hillary Clinton made her historic run for president. A devout pacifist, Rankin was the only member of Congress to vote against the U.S. fighting in World Wars I and II. Over the span of 60 years, she would become one of America's greatest feminists, pacifists and suffragists. Late in her life, Rankin led the Jeannette Rankin Brigade on a march in Washington against the Vietnam War. She fought for what she believed in. She never backed down. The book, which contains 60 historic photoghraphs, is the second in Peter Aronson's Groundbreaker Series: Middle-grade biographies about extraordinary people doing extra ordinary things.

The first monograph on the work of a photographic pioneer in the field of color nature photography, Jeannette Klute. The focus of Jeannette Klute's career at Eastman Kodak Company was on new discoveries in color photography, in particular, the dye transfer color process. As a photographic illustrator, she worked with physicist and author, RalphM. Evans, before being promoted to research photographer in charge of the Visual Research Studio of the Color Control Division. Klute adopted the laborious dye transfer process in the interest of highlighting landscape and naturalsettings. She promoted environmental concerns in her views, joining a small group of landscape modernists including Elliot Porter, who chose the new aesthetics of advanced color technology over the conventional appearance of black and white nature settings. The release of this title illuminates a particular period in twentieth-century American photography, accompanied by fine examples of Klute's work. Her career is intertwined with RIT's role in photographic education; the Eastman Kodak Company during its heyday; the company's role in the development of color photography; the dye transfer process; and the rise of color photography as an art form. Klute's photographs areheld by a number of collections in the U.S., and the RIT Archive Collections at Rochester Institute of Technology contains the largest holding of her lifelong work. THERESE MULLIGAN is the author of The Photography ofAlfred Steiglitz: Georgia O'Keeffe's Enduring Legacy to George Eastman House (2000), and Bernie Boston: American Photojournalist (2006), and a contributing writer/editor for several essays and photographic journals. BECKY SIMMONS is a contributing author of Frans Wildenhain, 1950-1975 (2012), co-author of Past Meets Present: Recovering the History of Women at Rochester Institute of Technology, 1885-1945 (2009).
