Margaret Chase Smith was a trailblazer. In 1940, she became the first woman elected to Congress from Maine - and nine years later, the first woman from the state elected to the U.S. Senate. But it was in 1950 that she made her most defining mark: standing alone on the Senate floor to deliver her historic "Declaration of Conscience," a bold rebuke of Senator Joseph McCarthy's campaign of fear and intimidation during the post-World War II Red Scare.
