Event Description
Receiving renowned acclaim at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, "Iron Jawed Angels" is an American drama that tells the remarkable story of a group of passionate and dynamic young women, led by Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) and her friend Lucy Burns (Frances O'Connor), who put their lives on the line to fight for American women's right to vote in the 1910s. Sacrificing their health, marriages, and the limited amount of freedom they had, these women were imprisoned and force fed after picketing and hunger-striking against war-time president, Woodrow Wilson, but survived to see the results of their efforts with the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States in 1920. This film will be presented by Dr. Barbara Copenhaver-Bailey, assistant vice president for student success. |
