Summary:
This video is for the TV movie Iron Jawed Angels. Great cast, including
Angelica Huston, Hilary Swank, Frances O'Connor, Julia Ormond and Grey's
Anatomy's Patrick Dempsey. The movie shows American women's struggle to get
the right to vote - pretty tough. They hounded senators, petitioned the
president, held rallies, held a parade that started a riot, picketed a
war-time president, got arrested for their tactics & finally (after
their prison hunger strike hit the press) won women the right to vote! It's
hard to believe, but this isn't that old of a part of our history - women
got the right to vote in the US in 1920 (a mere 87 years ago!) That means
that there are still women alive today who, in their lifetime, were not
allowed to vote. So watch this video, see the movie, and appreciate what
those women sacrificed so that you could cast your ballot on election day.
Oh yeah, and one more thing, GO OUT THERE & VOTE!!!
