Margaret Madeline Chase Smith (1897–1995), member of the Republican Party, served as a Representative (1940–1949) and Senator (1949–1973) from Maine. She was the first woman to serve in both houses of the United States Congress, and the first woman to represent Maine in either. A moderate Republican, 
she was among the first to criticize the tactics of Joseph McCarthy in her 
1950 speech, "Declaration of Conscience". (Wiki)
