Truth
Teller # 20 Margaret Chase Smith. A Senator from Maine, she was the
first woman to serve in both houses of Congress. As a Republican Senator
she was the first to challenge
McCarthyism, giving a 15 minute speech to the Senate titled “ A
Declaration of Conscience“ delivered as McCarthy looked on. Smith
endorsed every American's right to criticize, to protest, and to hold
unpopular beliefs.
