"Readers learn about the . . . life of Margaret Chase Smith--and how she persisted. Margaret Chase Smith liked to help people, and she knew she could do that as a member of Congress. She became the first woman to serve in both the House and the Senate, where she supported the space program and more opportunities for women. Her hard work and success helped pave the way for generations of women after her to run for office!"--Provided by publisher.

"Inspired by 'She Persisted' by Chelsea Clinton & Alexandra Boiger."
