I absolutely loved this movie. I'll admit, I'll add it to my favorites. I learned alot about the womens rights movenment ofcourse. I mean, we learned a little about it in high school, but the movie went in depth about it. The thing I never realzied, or even thought about, was the difficulty for African American Women in the womens rights movenment. I think I was just naive, because I thought it was just one big movenment, I didn't realize that the white women were not as asupportive about African American womenrights, because they were just trying to accomplish their own first..and the issue of African American women rights was a whole different issue. I think Iron Jawed Angels had several differents themes in the movie. There was ofcourse political themes occuring with the war, and rebellion, and womens rights. Then there are personality themes suchs as friendship, pride, loyalty. This movie has it all. There are tensions among the women even if they are batting for the same team. There are some women that are in the National Women's Sufferage Society that handle thing differently than Alice Paul does. There are also tensions between white women fighting for their rights, and African American women fighting for their rights. These strong women overcame their adversities by coming together. Alice Paul and her other sufferagettes strived and battled for womens rights by undergoing things that not even some men can handle. Being thrown into women holding cells just for hunger striking is completely immoral, yet they took it, to show how serious they were about receiving the rights the women rightfully deserve. I absolutely can't get over this movie, it's so inspirational. I can't believe the things these women had to go through just to get what we take for granted everyday. Its just absolutely amazing to get a glimpse of what these women went through. I've been telling all my friends about this movie all week. They want me to shut up, but its just inspiring.
