Jeanette Rankin was a woman who was definately born ahead of her time. Her ideas about women's rights were radical and they earned her many enemies. You might also find the Women's Rights Movement Feature interesting and there are books about other strong minded women in the Biographies section and in the Women's History Month Feature.
