Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - Women Fight - Women Win - Women Vote
This is a truly wonderful film. It exposes us to the fight that women endured to obtain the right to vote. Historically speaking it is very accurate with a little bit of Hollywood thrown in of course. The female cast is outstanding and I found myself cheering at the end even though I knew the outcome. This is must see movie for anyone interested in American history and especially the history that is hidden from us - female history. Enjoy! Cheer! Share the triumph of women's suffrage.

This is an excellant movie. All young girls should watch this in their
History Studies.
Rating:  - IMPORTANT SUBJECT, BADLY MADE MOVIE
I just finished watching HBO's Iron Jawed Angels, as difficult as it was to watch. The characters have no depth, the soundtrack overpowers the spoken words, and the music....did anyone notice the time period on this subject? Music for the 21st century was so completely wrong for this movie it actually shocked me that HBO put this together. The subject was serious and the women who stood up for ALL women's rights deserve to be spoken of with more respect than this HOLLYWOOD PIECE OF TRASH did. I have ... Read More
Rating: - Iron Jawed Angels
I loved this movie the first time I saw it and enjoy it every time I watch it. It is an entertaining historical view of women's suffrage and puts into perspective what lengths some women went to for the right to vote.
Rating: - Blown away
I'm so excited to be able to share this with my history classes. What a terrific representation of the fight for womens' right to vote. We've heard the names and we know the outcome of their fight, but seeing this movie really brings home what they did for us and what it cost those women. Swank, Huston, Ormond, Martindale and others were perfect.
