THE STORY:
Margaret Chase Smith is a woman of firsts: the first woman to serve in both the House of Representatives (taking over her deceased husband’s House seat) and the Senate, and the first woman in either house to represent Maine. After a year of acclimating to being the only woman in the Senate, she finds herself giving her first speech on the Senate floor, a “Declaration of Conscience” where she decides to take a stand and rebuke Joseph McCarthy, the renegade senator from her own party who is using baseless, dangerous rhetoric to further his own political career. After McCarthy and his enablers turn on her, Smith is abandoned by her allies and must stand up for what is right on her own, as a politician, a citizen, and a woman.
