Fantastic suffrage lesson
I bought this video after getting an email about how Alice Paul, Lucy Burns and their fellow suffragettes were treated after protesting and petitioning for the right to vote. I knew I would want it in my DVD collection, but thought it might be something for my classroom as well. I teach social studies and thought it would be a good addition to my election lessons. With the exception of a couple inappropriate moments (easily taken care of with a properly placed poster board over the television screen) this movie really engaged my eighth grade students. I would also recommend it for high school government classes.

Short quotes from my students:
"Cool"
"Loved it!"
"Eye-opening"
"Moving"

Iron Jawed Angels
a Fabulous movie.....a great gift for any woman, especially our daughters of today....they may not realize what a struggle it was to achieve the equal voting right as men had.....because of those women depicted in the movie, we women in the free world, have the opportunity to help shape a nation unlike some countries yet in the world who only have a women as chattel.

Thank You Ladies!!!
When I watched this movie I just kept saying "THank You Ladies, for what you went through to get our vote!" This movie was so compelling and passionate for what they believed in and stood for. Hillary Swank was great as usual. I always knew that women went through a lot in order to get us the vote, but I never dreamed it was to that extent! I have always voted, and this was an election year for President and I was very excited to vote and let my voice be heard. Thanks again to all the Ladies that helped to give me that privilege. Don't ever take that right for granted. If you are undecided about voting then watch "Iron Jawed Angels" It will touch your heart and soul and make you feel proud to be a woman!! I reccomend this movie for everyone!!

Awesome!
This is a must see movie for everyone....especially girls. I've loaned my copy to my son's History teacher (7th grade, and studying the "roaring 20's"). I had no idea the indignities, disrespect, and abuse these women suffered to win American women the right to vote! It's something I never thought about. Why, because I've always had the right to vote, because of these women. POwerful!

Women's Right to Vote
Great video that needs to be seen by all women so they can appreciate their right to vote. Story is not often seen in such detail in history school books.
