“An unlikely, against-all-odds tale of power, tenacity, and ambition.”
Friday, January 16 at Godmothers Books, historian Lorissa Rinehart takes the stage to present Winning the Earthquake: How Jeannette Rankin Defied All Odds to Become the First Woman in Congress,  the first major biography of the groundbreaking suffragist.
She’ll be joined in conversation by actor and comedian Jane Lynch.

Born on a Montana ranch in 1880, Jeannette Rankin knew how to ride a horse, make a fire, and read the sky for weather. But, most of all, she knew how to talk to people and unite them around a shared vision for America.

It was this rare skill that led her to become the first woman ever elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Despite overcoming the boys club of capitalists and career politicians to make enormous strides for women in politics, Rankin has been largely overlooked.

In “Winning the Earthquake,” Lorissa expertly recovers the compelling history behind this singular American hero, bringing her story back to life.
