Netflix:
From 1912 to 1920, a group of fiery young suffragettes led by Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) and Lucy Burns (Frances O'Connor) band together to wheedle the United States into adapting a Constitutional amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote. Along the way, they incur the wrath of President Woodrow Wilson (Bob Gunton) and anger other suffragette leaders (Anjelica Huston and Lois Smith). Directed by Katja von Garnier.
Two thumbs up!
A great movie to see anytime. It wasn't just about voting, it was about women earning the 'right' to vote. Yes, we had to earn the right, and the movie shows what these women (Alice Paul and Lucy Burns) were willing to do to help ALL women get this right - like being thrown into prison and being force fed by a tube shoved down their throats.
Watching a movie like this helps you understand the RIGHT to stand as a Sophisticated Lady!
Get the movie and let me know what you think.
