Iron Jawed Angels I thought was an extraordinary movie. I have never seen it and I really enjoyed watching it. What shocked me the most though was that what was happening in the movie really did happen in real life. I have always known that women weren't always equal but this movie really put in perspective what it was really like.
I learned how hard it was for women to even get someone to listen to them talk. Like in the movie when they were handing out the flyer's and the woman couldn't get one person to even stop and take one. To me that would have been really hard to deal with because now we have the right to talk and make ourselves known and they couldn't even get one person to listen. The theme I found in the movie was to never give up. If the women like Alice Paul would have gave up then who would have fought for our rights. I very thankful that women like her didn't give up and that they continued to fight for our rights even getting rejected many times. The tensions I found were between the national women vs. the women like Alice Paul. The were very different in many ways from money and where and how they were brought up all these played a factor in the tensions that were between the two groups of ladies.
The ladies worked out these problems but just getting over it and working them out. Alice Paul was finally able to reach her goals by one not giving up and two by the note passing. They were able to make their voice heard with the Wall Street Journal for a voice to the public.
For the readings I have not been able to find the book Feminism is for Everyone. I am still looking I just have not been able to locate one yet.
