Details

In the historical drama Iron Jawed Angels (2004), viewers are transported back to the year 1917, where they witness the extraordinary bravery and determination of Alice Paul and her fellow suffragettes. These women fought tirelessly for the right to vote and run for office, knowing that they were paving the way for future generations of women.

The film portrays the sacrifices made by these women, as they faced imprisonment and endured force-feeding after engaging in picketing and hunger-striking against President Woodrow Wilson during wartime. Despite the societal restrictions placed upon them, they remained unwavering in their commitment to the cause.

Iron Jawed Angels provides an important historical account of the women's suffrage movement, shedding light on a pivotal moment in history when gender equality was far from realized. It highlights the immense challenges faced by these fearless women, including the strain placed on their health and marriages.

Through their perseverance and determination, the suffragettes ultimately achieve their goal and witness the results of their efforts in the form of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. This victory not only shaped the course of history but also stands as a testament to the courage and resilience of the women who fought for women's rights.
