Montana has a long roster of women who fought to have their voices heard. This includes Jeannette Rankin, the first woman ever elected to the U.S. Congress; Roe v. Wade activist Judy Smith; and Elouise Cobell, a Blackfeet woman who won the one of largest class action lawsuits against the federal government, winning billions for tribes across the nation.The voices of these women shaped the history of Montana and empowered an entirely new generation of Montana women to speak up.
