=Jeanette Rankin= When war was looming overhead Jeanette Rankin ran for senate and ended up winning the election when the papers had already published that she had lost. During her place in senate she voted a lot for peace and rights for women and children. She was the first to go against everyone and vote against going to war by breaking protocol and saying "I want to stand by my country, but I cannot support the war." while they where taking roll. Her colleagues even criticized this act saying it was impractical towards the suffrage movement. Even though she was against the war she did vote for pro-war packages but in the end her first anti-war vote sealed her doom for when she ran once more she was not elected back. After not being re-elected she moved to the countryside but came back every year to Montana
