Iron Jawed Angels

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!!

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!

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.

I do not know how I missed this movie the first time it was released, but I wish all women of all ages would watch it , least we forget how much the women that came before us sacrificed for us and the rights we have today!! I will never failed to vote again!

My adult daughter and I rented this movie because of reading the many good reviews about it. We loved it! Immediately afterward I hopped on my computer to order it, however it was either out of stock or triple the list price on every site I looked at. I finally ordered it from Amazon.com knowing that it would be a few weeks before I recieved it. To my delight, it came within a week!

My only problem with this movie is one particular scene (I'll not describe it here) that makes it totally inappropriate for anyone under 18 to watch. Even though I think it is an important scene and helps the viewer understand the character better, it is a shame it is in there because it limits its audience. I think young teens could have gotten a lot out of this film.

Bottom line....This movie showcases a very important message, particularly for young women voting in the 2008 Presidential election, but be aware of the adult situations!
