Now THAT I would like to read. Help me out here - what State did she represent? Was it Montana? I recall it was a Western State. What is the name of the book? Thank you!! 

Yes thats right, mtaabq!  She represented Montana in the House, in two non-consecutive terms, each one was at the start of US entering a world war (1917 and 1941 I believe).

The name of the book is: Winning the Earthquake by Lorissa Rinehart, here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Earthquake-Jeannette-Rankin-Congress/dp/1250353041/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1HIO123SOEWRP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uysD7ZWmzlSOxBByn_uQvUV8gl7DqlV-pe9E6gclBFU.LU73e8JG51P2RrRQnZ0r4L0aeYAu0f1T6gsaMhA4hwg&dib_tag=se&keywords=lorissa+rinehart&qid=1770092267&sprefix=lorissa+rinehar%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-1

Yes, she was elected for a single term in 1916, and for another single term in 1940.
