Jeannette Rankin, first woman elected to and served in the US Congress, before women were even given the right to vote on a Federal basis. She represented Montana, a state which had granted full suffrage to adult females several years earlier.

I don't consider that comparable to anything Hamilton or Jackson did.

Rankin was also a half vast Marxist, reflexively antiwar and antimilitary, and founder of the fire engine Red Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.
