ABOUT THE FILM "This is inspiring for women of all ages ... I was really moved by the drive and courage of these women." ~ Hilary Swank The performances are first-rate, from the charismatic Hilary Swank to the feisty Jennifer O'Connor to the tightly-wrapped Anjelica Huston, with a talented international ensemble including Julia Ormond, Vera Farmiga, Laura Fraser, Brooke Smith, Adilah Barnes and Molly Parker. IRON JAWED ANGELS is very well acted, features terrific production design, costumes and modern cinematography including the use of hand-held cameras plus fast and slow motion editing. Equally notable is the music – contemporary pop/rock – from Lauryn Hill, Sarah McLachlan, Jasmin Tabatabai & Tico Zamora, St. Germain, Mandalay, Titiyo, Vertical Horizon, et. al., which helps connect a younger generation to the suffragists' fight for equal rights. With remarkably little variance from the facts, the cast portrays actual historical figures with only a few fictional minor characters inserted to aid in plot advancement. Produced by HBO's highly regarded Film Division and filmed in wide-screen format, IRON JAWED ANGELS preimiered to standing ovations at the Sundance Film Festival, but was not released in theatres, screening only on the HBO cable/satellite network. Nominated for five Emmy's and numerous other awards, it won both a Golden Globe and Golden Satellite for Anjelica Huston as Best Supporting Actress, a Pen Center Literary Award for writing and a Screen Actors Guild award for Hilary Swank for Outstanding Performance by a female actor. Learn more about the cast... HISTORICAL CONTEXT A country divided. Hesitation to confront a wartime president. Mistreatment of prisoners. Sounds like modern times, but this was America circa 95 years ago. Way back in 1848 the women's suffrage movement held a national convention in upstate New York, and starting in 1869, women from suffrage groups came to Washington D.C. each and every year, petitioning the federal government for the right to vote. For the next 43 years, through 1912, the members of Congress displayed little regard for the millions of signatures on the petitions - never once debating a single petition in the House of Representatives. The film frames three pivotal points in American history, spanning 1912 -1920 — READ MORE... How They Did It Founded and led by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, the National Woman's Party had only 50,000 members, roughly 3% the size of its parent organization, the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Yet, in a relatively short period of time, the NWP successfully pressured the President, Congress and state legislatures into supporting passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing the nationwide right to vote for women. NWP strategy and tactics produced an effective blueprint for future civil rights and social issues efforts. Learn more in this article prepared by the American Memory unit of the Library of Congress. EDUCATOR RESOURCES Less than 100 years ago, women in America did not have the right to vote in national elections. Today, the story of the lengthy struggle to amend the U.S. Constitution is often little more than a footnote in our history books. With voter suppression on the rise in America, people of all ages and all walks of life should know about the sacrifice and effort expended in obtaining a right that so many take for granted today.
