Product Description
Product Description
Iron Jawed Angels (DVD) Oscar-winner Hilary Swank stars in a fresh and contemporary look at a pivotal event in American history, telling the true story of how a pair of defiant and brilliant young activists took the women's suffrage movement by storm, putting their lives at risk to help American women win the right to vote.

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

A venerating narrative feature.
In a day and age of most now owning a DVD player or not willing/wanting to buy a DVD player accessory for a computer; this needs to be made into a version of modern accessibility.
I recall watching this as a teen and wondering in it’s splendid wake. Though I’ve learned that Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady fought for white upperclass woman’s rights and against colored and immigrant woman’s right to vote let alone equality; which has had me question mainstream history as a whole.
I have found that focusing on the middle to lower class women you get a real story of grit and virtue. Though even in 1920s common human rights are still not equal though now it comes so, slowly, too slowly. We can not change history but we can, surely, ensure it does not repeat itself in the oppression of anyone.
Different fights are still being fought and with knowledge we can fight for the betterment of all. For without equality of all we will never live in a truly free county; if such a thing exists.
Regardless: watch the movie, make it an Amazon Instant Video. Simple enough to follow.
Times are turning and something of this value should not be left in the dust.
Call them Suffragists, call them Feminists, women who've fought for rights in our nation's history have often been portrayed as masculine, ball-busting bra-burners. This film does a beautiful job at depicting the beauty and intelligence of these modern, college-educated women, and isn't afraid to show them admiring fashion or worrying about how their hair looks. At the same time, it pays homage to the original Suffragists, including Carrie Chapman Catt (portrayed by Angelica Houston) who succeeded Susan B. Anthony as head of the National Woman Suffrage Association. The upbeat musical score pumps additional energy into the telling of these tireless women, willing to give everything for their cause. We, their descendents, owe them a debt of gratitude.
Hillary Clinton may be breaking the so-called glass ceiling in today's American politics; however, she has it EASY compared to Alice Paul and Lucy Burns and what it took to pass the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote.
