In 1916 Jeannette Pickering Rankin became the first woman to be elected into the United States congress. Rankin gave women a voice at a time they did not have one. She was the only woman who voted to give women the right to vote. She opened debates in congress about a constitutional amendment which gave all women the right to vote. Rankin paved the way for women like Alice Mary Robertson (who became the first to overthrow a man in a general election). She made it possible for people like myself to speak out against society.

He then vowed to write a book called

What are the main points of this reading (focus on concepts, ideas, and then, not on individual facts)? Chapter 27 deals with the politics and cultural abundances during the Cold War. Because of the Cold War the U.S. gained many new technologies and ideas such as the interstate. Space Shuttles and tornado sirens were also created because of the Cold War era and the new threats it brought. Suburb development was the major effect of the new economic era. We developed new housing areas such as Levittown, along with the new area came new shopping malls and urbanization. There was still the threat of nuclear destruction in this time of development. Many leaders were afraid of the Domino Theory that would allow communism to spread at an alarming rate. One major battle that came from this idea was the Cuban revolution led by Fidel Castro. Along with the new economic and political changes came social and cultural changes. Texas and Florida were being flooded with Mexican Americans who came to work in the U.S. and then were supposed to go back to Mexico. African and Mexican Americans were fighting for their civil rights and equality. One example of Mexican Americans struggling for civil rights was Hernandez vs. Texas. African-Americans had a huge movement forward during this time. There was the Little Rock Nine, Martian Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and the Montgomery bus boycott. Throughout this hard time many minorities gained rights and equality. The Cold War era had a huge

Chapter 25 discusses the United States and the Second World War from 1939-1945. The United States wanted to stay out of international affairs but the newly elected Roosevelt advocated for an active role in it. Though he wanted a role in this, his priority was to attack the domestic causes of the depression which appealed to many poor Americans who were suffering from the Great Depression and had just lost everything. During this time, fascist governments threatened military aggression and the rise of Hitler created a controversial and war-like atmosphere. Hitler had a goal to avenge the defeat of WW1 which lead to the accusations of Jews, and the eventual full-blown Holocaust. Neutrality acts were put into place during this time to prohibit the exchange of arms to nations during the war.

The amendment also includes a number of clauses dealing with the Confederacy and its officials.

Dorothea Lange’s pictures of the homeless during the Great Depression got the attention of the Federal Resettlement Administration. She began to work for them taking pictures and capturing the publics attention of the poor. She also worked for the US Farm Security Administration before World War Two. She investigated the conditions of farm workers in many Western states. Many of the people she photographed during this time had came to escape the “Dust Bowl” (a drought which devastated millions of acres of farm land in midwestern states).

Arguably the most recognizable illustrator of the 20th century, Norman Rockwell created the images and set of tone of Americana idealism. The artist’s illustrations graced the cover of the Saturday Evening Post (the largest publication at the time) for five decade, reaching 4 million homes and viewers.

A Surrealist. A prime member of an artistic collective. Even nonlinear images somehow resonate believably when depicted by his hand. His career began in commerce, and this is plainly visible through the observation of his clean lines and precise renderings. He is distinct in the way that he communicates an image that gives immediate pleasure in spite of, or perhaps because of, the irrationality of its content and the rationality of its form. He has been known for freeing objects of their practical functions so as to portray an image that is intensely compelling in its lack of logic.
