Much better than I expected

The Bottom Line:
Far from the self-important feminist period piece with TV-movie production values I was expecting, Iron Jawed Angels is a vibrant piece of filmmaking that tells a tale of nuance and complication rather than the inexorable march of What's Right; a movie about feminism that has none of the qualities that people sneer at when they hear the word, it's a rather astonishing movie which belies its made-for-TV roots and delivers a piece of cinema on the small screen.

Painful telling of Alice Paul's fight for women votes. An eye-opening story that every American will be richer having seen. Shockingly violent at times, but with a feel good ending. Hillary Swank's performance is brilliant!

A very down-to-earth depiction of history, showing not icons but real women working for the right to vote.

Thank you Ironed Jawed Angels!

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...
