Jeannette Rankin: American Conscience with Mary Jane Bradbury
Advertisement
Join us in the Cordingley Room on September 29 at 6:30 pm for a live re-enactment with Mary Jane Bradbury. Spend some time before to look through the Montana Tapestry Project, on our second floor, as a part of the America250 celebrations.
Humanitarian, pacifist, and tireless advocate for social reform, Jeannette Rankin was the first woman elected to U.S. Congress, and the only member of Congress to vote against U.S. entry into both world wars. Bradbury, as Jeannette, discusses her journey from grassroots suffragist to being the first woman to participate in United State government. Hear in Jeannette’s own words her views on equality and government reform—words that ring true today.
Mary Jane Bradbury is an historic interpreter and scholar who brings history to life for audiences of all ages. She is an artist in residence for the CM Russell Museum in Great Falls and the Montana Historical Society in Helena.
Thank you to Humanities Montana for making this program possible.
