Movie Reviews of Iron Jawed Angels
Movie Review: A Must See for Every Woman of Every Age...
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently saw this movie for the 1st time in a college class, Women in Society. The range of emotions about the topic are endless. First, the movie is AMAZING; the women (and men) involved in bringing this movie and story to the public did an incrediable piece of work. Second, we just don't learn about women's history in school, not at an early age. And, we need to; ALL of us; girls and boys alike.
This movie should be required viewing, at a minimum, the High School level.
I purchased a copy for myself and a copy for my 23 year old daughter. It's a keeper, to watch often as a reminder of where we come from and what have today at the expense of the women who came before us.
Movie Review: A true triumph for womens rights
Summary: 5 Stars
Even since I heard about this movie, I was excited about it. When I finally watched the whole thing, which took me four tries on HBO, I was not disappointed. This movie not only gives an accurate representation of the suffragettes in the early 1900s but it also inspires women of today and speak to them. The movie does not spare us in details of how the women are treated when imprisoned for picketing on the White House during the first world war. It was a brave move. It also shows the humanity of these women. They are not just sqwuaking birds making noise. They had their own lives. I truly recommend this movie to everyone.Movie Review: Move Over, Susan B. Anthony!
Summary: 5 Stars
The younger, more radical branch of the early US women's movement is featured in this film, which highlights the intensity of the struggle for voting equality. I saw this film with my 12-year-old daughter and thought it might be too much for her... there are some difficult bits to watch. But then when it came time for her to do a "Famous American" report in school she chose Alice Paul, whom her teacher had never heard of before. My daughter dedicated her report to "My hero, Alice Paul." It still brings tears to my eyes. Thank you, Hilary Swank, for bringing your talent and star power to this important movie.Movie Review: Excellent

You will never take for granted the right to vote after watching this movie. I had known some of the names of the women who fought for women to have the right to vote but I did not known how long and hard they struggled. These women are genuine heroes and should be celebrated as such. President Wilson's role is also interesting as he did not support this struggle and only came through after making crucial and serious mistakes (for which he should have been prosecuted). The cast is great, the clothes beautiful and the women are awe inspiring. It should be required viewing for all voters. Suffragettes rock!Movie Review: Thank you Ironed Jawed Angels!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am ashamed to say that I had never heard of the Ironed Jawed Angels until the HBO movie came up as a netflix suggestion. I do not know the actual story and order of events, but I think the movie did a great job illustrating the struggle and sacrifices our ancestors made to grant females the right to vote. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it! Thank you women suffragists!
As an aside, I've never liked Hilary Swank before, and I absolutely loved her in this film!
Now off to find a biography on Alice Paul and Lucy Burns to add to my "to be read" pile...
