Summary: I was enlightened
Comment: My right to vote - never gave it much thought. I now have a new appreciation for the privilege; and recommend this film to anyone not familiar with this piece of our history. You'll be enlightened.

Summary: Great Movie about Women's Rights
Comment: Even though the title of this movie may sound a little strange, it is a movie worth seeing. The movie focuses on the efforts and determination of Alice Paul and Lucy Burns and their quest to give women the right to vote. I watched this movie for the first time only a couple weeks before the election in November of this year. By watching this movie before I voted for the next President for the first time, I began to realize that if these women and the others who shared their dream did not speak out, I may not have been allowed to vote. After watching this movie, I began to appreciate all that women in our country and in other countries around the world have fought so long and so hard for. If you want to learn more about how women gained the right to vote or if you want to know more about women's rights in general, this is a great movie to see that deals with that issue. Hilary Swank, Margo Martindale, Anjelica Huston, and Patrick Dempsey are only few of the actors and actresses in this movie that make it a movie worth seeing!

Summary: Impactful - not just for "girls"
Comment: I was skeptical when I saw an email about this video, so I ordered it from the Library and watched it with my boyfriend. It made such a huge impact on both of us we BOTH bought a copy. We're encouraging everyone to watch this video. Very true-to-life - no "fluff" and no "sparkle" - just the facts portrayed in a very professional movie format. I'll never take my right to vote for granted again. Ever.

Summary: Fantastic suffrage lesson
Comment: I bought this video after getting an email about how Alice Paul, Lucy Burns and their fellow suffragettes were treated after protesting and petitioning for the right to vote. I knew I would want it in my DVD collection, but thought it might be something for my classroom as well. I teach social studies and thought it would be a good addition to my election lessons. With the exception of a couple inappropriate moments (easily taken care of with a properly placed poster board over the television screen) this movie really engaged my eighth grade students. I would also recommend it for high school government classes.

Short quotes from my students:
"Cool"
"Loved it!"
"Eye-opening"
"Moving"

Summary: Iron Jawed Angels
Comment: a Fabulous movie.....a great gift for any woman, especially our daughters of today....they may not realize what a struggle it was to achieve the equal voting right as men had.....because of those women depicted in the movie, we women in the free world, have the opportunity to help shape a nation unlike some countries yet in the world who only have a women as chattel.
