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

 Iron Jawed Angels January 7, 2009
This was a great movie. How can any female watch this and not go vote on election day? Today we take our rights and privileges for granted. This movie helps you appreciate the sacrifices that were made in our behalf.
This film should be mandatory in all public schools. December 20, 2008
While many people can state that the 19th ammendment gave women the right to vote in the United States, few people really think about either the process that it took to get there and even fewer think about the context of the times in which it occurred. This film is brilliantly acted and exceptionally well written. It addresses the process of getting the ammendment passed and it addresses the fact that this battle was waged during World War 1.
I personally believe that all high schools (Public and private) should screen and discuss this film. We are so fortunate to live in a place and time when we CAN have a voice in our government but many even now do not have that right. Watching the struggle of our ancestors, knowing that their were those that died IN THIS COUNTRY so that I can participate in my government is an important reminder to all citizens all the time.
One important point - the force-feeding scene is graphic. While we should not shy away from it (This was what killed some of the early sufferagettes. The folks doing the forced feeding were often neither skilled nor gentle.), it is important to not inflict this film on anyone too young. Please do not show it to anyone under 15. I've heard the argument, "She's mature. She can handle it." and I submit to you that she might be able to handle it but she shouldn't have to do so.
Excellent civics lesson for teens December 20, 2008
This is an excellent movie about women seeking the votes - especially since most of us (like me) did not realize what they went through. Our history classes present it as just women picketting. Obviously it was much harder than that for some.
I purchased this and donated it to my daughter's high school civics class for them to watch during the elections.
Educational value December 6, 2008
I used this film in my US History class,I was impressed with the historical value of the film. My students were able to relate well to it, I recommend it to any teacher of American History.

Good movie - accurately portrayed - except for one scene that seemed to be added to make this movie a little more risque. Other than that 30 seconds to one minute scene (that seemed a little out of context) this was a great movie.
