Familiar echoes in the candidacy of Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to Congress.

It's a long article, but the very best part comes the the final paragraph.

A little more than a year before she dies alone, in a retirement home in Carmel, California, Rankin tells a journalist that “if she had her life to relive, she’d do it all again.” She adds, “But this time, I’d be nastier.”
