What can the first woman ever elected to Congress teach us about courage, peace, and the fight for democracy? In this episode, Dr. Paul Zeitz talks with historian and author Lorissa Rinehart about her book, Winning the Earthquake: How Jeannette Rankin Defied All Odds to Become America’s First Congresswoman.
Together, they explore how Rankin’s radical vision—for women’s suffrage, peace over war, and a truly representative democracy—remains just as urgent today. Hear how Rankin’s legacy can guide us through our own “earthquake moment,” and what it really means to prepare for peace instead of war.
