This movie is about the first wave of the feminist equal rights movement. It is a great move. The story is well told and hold the attention all the way through. The story of Alice Paul and her friends and associates and how they struggled to get the 19th amendment passed. I did not realize that the black women did not get full benefit from the 19th amendment, due to the Jim Crow laws and the prejudice that still held them back. I assumed that the right to vote was for all women. Some themes were women are people. Women were not free. The vote should be available to all people, including women. There was tensions caused by events that happened. some wanted to waite for the men to decide when they should push for the vote, others wanted to push now. Race was an issue, women not wanting to lose their jobs was an issue, women not wanting problems at home was an issue. they did not overcome all of them, but managed to work for the good of the entire group and for the ideal of voting. They were imprisoned, mistreated, misunderstood, and suffered greatly. both emotionally and physically. The final victory was sweet, but it came with a great cost, even life was lost in the battle for the right to vote. Loved the Movie.
