In highlighting the revolutionary story about the American suffrage movement of the early 20th century, including the formation of the National Women’s Party, Iron Jawed Angels portrays the suffragists’ struggles as they faced opposition, conflict, and abuse. These responses to their protests underscore the high price women paid as they struggled to have their voices heard to gain suffrage. The film presents history, through a modern lens, to capture the dramatic journey of many remarkable women.

We encourage you to watch (or re-watch!) Iron Jawed Angels before joining us for this event. If you do not own the film, you can watch it online via these subscription-based and paid streaming services: HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Go.
