Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The true story of how defiant & brilliant young activists alice paul & lucy burns took the womens movement by storm putting their lives at risk in the noble struggle to help american women win the right to vote. Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 01/16/2007 Starring: Hillary Swank Run time: 120 minutes Rating: Nr

Amazon.com:
The fight for women's voting rights has rarely been given as dramatic a treatment as in Iron Jawed Angels. Hilary Swank (Boys Don't Cry) and Frances O'Connor (Mansfield Park) star as second-wave suffragettes Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, who led the final fight for the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. Though the movie sometimes tries too hard to avoid the stigma of a period piece (the soundtrack features electric guitars, Swank has a steamy moment in a bathtub, and the editing is jagged and flashy), the mounting energy of the fight--and the increasingly nasty opposition--gains real momentum when a wartime picket line leads to Paul, Burns, and their sisters-in-arms being arrested on trumped-up charges and imprisoned. The actors--including Julia Ormond (Smilla's Sense of Snow), Angelica Huston (Prizzi's Honor, The Grifters), and Brooke Smith (Vanya on 42nd Street)--give fervent, determined performances. --Bret Fetzer




Rating: - This film should be mandatory in all public schools.

This film is brilliantly acted and exceptionally well written. It addresses the process of getting the ammendment passed and it addresses the fact that this battle was waged during World War 1.

I personally believe that all high schools ... Read More

Rating: - Excellent civics lesson for teens
This is an excellent movie about women seeking the votes - especially since most of us (like me) did not realize what they went through. Our history classes present it as just women picketting. Obviously it was much harder than that for some.

I purchased this and donated it to my daughter's high school civics class for them to watch during the elections.

Rating: - Iron Jawed Angels
Good movie - accurately portrayed - except for one scene that seemed to be added to make this movie a little more risque. Other than that 30 seconds to one minute scene (that seemed a little out of context) this was a great movie.

Rating: - I was enlightened
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.
