Iron Jawed Angels (DVD, 2004)

important part of history, going to use it in a class,feel it will help
other women undnerstand how, why it is important to vote

Why you bought it - heard from a friend about the film subject matter and was curious - do not live in a good place to rent movies.

What you like most about it - The history of white females getting the vote in USA and even the "fight between women's groups" as if fighting not only the "enemy" but also the sisterhood. In reference to the all-star cast - one forgets the Star and believes in the character. Very well done.

What you dislike about it - The idea that someone had to bring it to someone's attention that equality in voting needed to be pointed out and fought for even against family. There's violence that I'm sure was minimized as it was the D.C. local groups that were focused upon, the sadness of sacrifice to make a point, and the blunt ignorance in the eyes of men who actually needed to be shaken to be shown what should have been seen. And then other women had to go through similarities in their fight as this did focus on the caucasian vote. (AND that enough women have not seen something like this to remind them to get out there and vote and how important each one of are in the government decision-making.)

EXCELLENT MOVIE, THE GOOD ONES SEEM TO SLIP BY US FROM TIME TO TIME . IM GLAD I CAUGHT THIS ONE ,SHOWS HOW FAR WE HAVE COME .

Iron Jawed Angels stars Hillary Swank, Patrick Dempsey, and an amazing cast. I admit, I originally did not buy this movie for myself. It was a gift for my mom, who likes more of the "chick flick" movies than I do. After watching it with her however, I was strongly taken by this movie. It's a beautiful telling of the story of how Womens Suffrage ended and is portrayed in a very honest, easy to relate to way. I was enthralled by this movie and couldn't stop watching! I highly recommend this movie!

This HBO movie, made on a shoestring budget, is a visually gorgeous film, with an engaging script, excellent acting and a message for Third-wave feminists and the so-called "post-feminists".

Iron Jawed Angels really speaks to young women, drawing parallels between today's employed, educated, intelligent women who are just too busy to be activists, and our political elder stateswomen, who are so often horrified that we seem to be taking our rights for granted and not fighting to extend and preserve what we have. The young feminists of the 1910s shocked their elders with their protests (see Code Pink), their smoking (see Sex in the City), their sexual liberty (see sex positive feminism) and their will to power.

What's amazing about this film is that so little of it ever crosses a school-child's desk. As a product of the public schools, where we rarely got past the Civil War, and nearly never made it to this time period, I found the film eye-opening and shocking but also hopeful and important. I will never cast a ballot again without thanking the women who were beaten, abused, force-fed and considered quite possibly insane so that I could vote.

If we don't remember the sacrifices our political aunts made for us, and if we don't exercise the rights they won for us, we risk losing those rights.

I had to watch part of this movie for a class that I was taking otherwise I would not have personally picked it up. After watching it I purchased the movie. I do like the movie and how it protrays the suffrage movement-not at all dry. The drama is great and it sticks to the facts pretty much except for Senator Leighton and his wife are fictional-I believe their intent was to show how suffrage affected all women not just those of the lower class. I watched this with my teenager who was touched by it. There is a bath tub scene that we skipped that is I believe not necessary but hey let's throw the sex in there where we can. But all in all it is a sound movie with great actresses who show the emotional and the intellectual side of women not having any rights in our society at that time. It is actually about more than just the suffrage movement-it is about the way women lived and were treated by society as a whole. Not a man bashing movie-just shows the atmosphere of that particular era. All women should see this-then perhaps we would take voting and our rights much more to heart.

liked the movie. gave it to a friend. would buy another movie from this vendor. as soon as i am in the market will do so.

Iron Jawed Angels with Hilary Swank, was an amazing movie. It is about the Woman's Rights era, just shows how they were treated back then. The movie goes into great detail about all the things they had to do to get us, women, where we are today.

i loved this movie! i think every women needs to have an understanding of what our mothers and sisters went through for us to get where we are today and this movie really puts that into perspective. i recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in learning about women's history.

Excellent! I've watched it numerous times already. It makes people aware that although we have voting rights we still have not received the "Equal Rights Amendment" which essentially secures our right to vote. Or does it? Actually, it something you should look up. Voting was good but let's face it...All the women had to vote for was men for sooo many years, who I fail to believe truly represented our cause. ERA is not a gay rights amendment. It's a human beings right to equality amendment. The media loves to make you think you will be pissing along with men in the public bathrooms if you vote for ERA. Fear tactics! I believe women need to stand tall once again but with the Patriot Act the women who speaks up may never be seen again. You know those terrorist women out there.

I had seen this film years ago at school. I thought it was great then. After I purchased it and watched it at home I wondered why I'd ever thought it was great in the first place. It simply wasn't what I remembered. It's worth seeing...kind of, but I would not buy it if I could do it all over again.

This is an amazing movie! Caught it in the middle on TV once and decided I had to buy it to the the rest! This is one movie that I think every woman (and man) in America should watch. Ladies, share it with you daughters, mothers, nieces, friends, etc.!

I bought this film because I try to learn everything I can about women in history -- especially women in American history. I have a minor in American history, but it seems the textbooks I read and classes I took left out everything to do with women! I have had to learn it all on my own through the years.
This movie is EXCELLENT. I LOVE it! EVERY WOMAN IN AMERICA SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE! IN FACT, EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD IN AMERICA SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE! Women should know what the Founding Mothers did for us, so that we can enjoy the rights we have today! Why is it that in the African American struggle, names such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Frederick Douglas are household words, yet names like Alice Paul and Inez Milholland of the women's struggle are forgotten?!!?
I have only two criticisms. The music in this movie is modern instead of period. When I see a period piece, I like for the scenes, the clothing, and the music to take me back to that appropriate era and set me there. The modern music was jolting and hard to swallow, but I guess by putting something modern in there, they were trying to show that these women of our great-grandmothers' generation were just like women of today. The second criticism is that there was a bathtub masturbation scene that was inappropriate, not needed, and distracting from the subject at hand --women's struggle for the vote!

I wasn't sure what to think of this movie when it was first presented to me but after watching it I was must amazed. I admit I was skeptical of the movie at first, knowing Hollywood's ability to stretch the truth a little, but found that much of the movie was indeed factual and that it even had a hard time portraying just how badly some of these women were wronged. Definitely a movie to see!

I feel that it would be unfair of me to rate this person. If I did perchase this item then I never received it, but I do not remember paying for it. If I did perchase it then that would have been a month and a half ago...that's a long time to wait before something comes in. I also do not have a receipt from my account stating that I perchased this item.

I bought the Iron Jawed Angels back in February and I was not happy that I never received the item. I was very disappointed, because I really needed the movie for a school project.

I loved the fact that it was brand new, got here quickly and it was in perfect condition!!!! I could not have aksed for a better buying experience. So much better than hunting for an item in the store.

I rated this a good because this film could have deleted some of the movie and still had an excellent plot. Why does Hollywood always think you want something with sex in it? Do I really want to see someone masturbate in the tub on film? Not really. I bought this film because it was based on a true story plus I read all the good reviews. I am with you that the film was good just too long and drawn out.

When I still had HBO I'd watch this movie every time I saw it on. It's really informative and showed me more about the women's suffrage movement than I'd known. I even used it as a resource for a history paper. [I also have two friends who were extras in it so that was a plus as well.] When I lost HBO I HAD to get it!

Great seller! This is a DVD of my wife's favorite movie and she wanted 3 extra to give as presents to friends.

Package came in a very timely manner and in excellent condition. Keep up the good work! I've never been disappointed ordering through you online. It's always been a safe, time and money saving way to shop. I've referred your service to many people, who also have been extremely pleased. The price was right, receipt has always been extremely quick, and always arrives in fantastic condition
