Enlightening & Overwhelmingly touching, Wonderful
Even with the Hollywood spin, this movie depicts the true essence of the struggle for the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. What surprised me the most was how little I knew about the courageous devotion of these women and why our history books make little or no mention of their extraordinary struggle for us, for so many years. I loved this movie! Every cast member gave an outstanding performance, especially Hillary Swank (Alice Paul) and Frances O'Connor (Lucy Burns). Ms.O'Connor was enthralling! Every woman of voting age should see this movie about our unsung heroines. Then, older teenage daughters(& sons) nieces(& nephews),view it with supervision of some scenes. I wasn't initially drawn to this movie because of the title. I thought it was about WWII fighting airplanes. I'm so glad I tuned in for one of the best enlightening films of the decade. Bravo for HBO!

Dr. White : You refuse to eat. Can you tell me why?
Alice Paul : The hunger strike was a tradition in Old Ireland. You starve yourself on someone's doorstep until restitution is made. And justice is done.
Dr. White : Doesn't sound like a very effective method.
Alice Paul : A stinking corpse on your doorstep? What will the neighbours say?
Dr. White : So you stand on the president's doorstep. He's treated you very badly, hasen't he?
Alice Paul : It's the law that treats women badly.
Dr. White : But you picketed President Wilson, he's the one that put you here.
Alice Paul : We picketed the office of the presidency. It has nothing to do with Mr Wilson and everything to do with the position he holds.
Dr. White : But he's responsible for your treatment here.
Alice Paul : I believe I was sent here by a district commissioner.
Dr. White : You call yourself a suffragist.
Dr. White : Tell me about your cause. Just talk freely. Explain yourself. Do you understand the question?
Alice Paul : You asked me to explain myself. I just wonder what needs to be explained. Let me be very clear. Look into your own heart. I swear to you, mine's no different. You want a place in the trades and professions where you can earn your bread? So do I. You want some means of self expression? Some way of satisfying your own personal ambitions? So do I. You want a voice in the government in which you live? So do I. What is there to explain?

After about 1910, frustrated by the failure of the United States to adopt a constitutional amendment giving women the vote, militant suffragists led by Alice Paul mount an aggressive campaign demanding suffrage. They use parades and demonstrations with striking visual messages, they campaign against the Democratic party which refuses to endorse the Amendment, and they picket the White House. The demonstrations are entirely peaceful and their banners often use the words of Woodrow Wilson, who was president at the time, to argue the justice of their cause. However, President Wilson, while supporting women’s suffrage in his own state, will not support a constitutional amendment, which is the only way that women in conservative states, particularly in the South, will get the vote in the foreseeable future.
After the U.S. enters the First World War in 1917, many people expect that all citizens will join together to support the war effort. In fact, most participants in the woman’s suffrage movement agree to stop their protests and their lobbying and to focus on helping the country win the war. However, Alice Paul and her militant suffragists refuse, noting that they had not been permitted to participate in making the decision on whether or not to go to war. They also point to the hypocrisy of a nation that says it is fighting a war to “make the world safe for democracy” while it refuses to allow the vast majority of its female citizens to vote.
The response is violent. Angry crowds assault the protesters and the police do little or nothing to protect the women. Instead, the suffragists are arrested on false charges of blocking the sidewalk, convicted without due process of law, and sent to jail. In jail, they are confined in poor conditions and given rancid, wormy food. Their claim to be treated as political prisoners is rejected. Other female inmates are incited by the guards to attack them. When some of the women protest their mistreatment, they are placed in solitary confinement. The suffragists then go on hunger strikes but are brutally force-fed by the jailors. The government unsuccessfully tries to have their leader, Alice Paul, declared insane so that she could be committed to an asylum indefinitely.
Word of the government’s mistreatment of the suffragists gets out and is publicized by the militants and their supporters. The public outcry is immense and adds to the pressure on President Wilson to propose the 19th Amendment, giving women the vote. And almost every scene of this part of the movie is true and reasonably accurate.
The suffragists were applying all of the principles of nonviolent mass action: meeting violence with peacefulness; generating massive publicity; applying political or economic pressure; and making arguments that work on the conscience of the general public and of their adversaries. The militants’ campaign kept the suffrage issue in the forefront of the national consciousness and was a factor in leading President Wilson to change his position and work actively for passage of the 19th Amendment.

This movie can be used to vividly impress upon students the following important historical lessons not generally taught in textbooks:
(1) when the militant wing of the suffrage movement, led by Alice Paul, used nonviolent protests to demand the vote, they were assaulted by crowds of men and denied police protection;
(2) the government tried to suppress the militants’ nonviolent protests with false arrests, unfair trials, imprisonment in harsh conditions, and what can best be described as torture;
(3) the militant suffragists withstood the violence, imprisonment, and torture, continuing their protests and refusing to back down, while strictly adhering to nonviolence;
(4) the arguments of the militant suffragists and the public’s outrage at the way they were treated, as well as respect for the strength of the suffragists’ commitment, were factors in the passage of the 19th Amendment, although the efforts of the National American Women’s Suffrage Association (NAWSA) and its leader, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, were probably more important long term factors in passing the amendment; and
(5) Alice Paul and the NWP independently developed tactics of nonviolent protest which were strikingly similar to the methods of promoting political and social change being developed at about the same time by Mahatma Gandhi.
The film will inspire students to study the movement for women’s equality, one of the five great advances in human rights in the U.S. since the beginning of the 20th century. The others were the grant of equal treatment for black Americans and other minorities, the procedural protections given to persons accused of crimes (achieved primarily through court decisions), granting access and other rights to the disabled (achieved through legislation) and the grant of equal rights to homosexuals, including the right to raise children and to marry. All these advances are works in process.
MODERATE. There are a number of historical errors and distortions in those portions of the film that do not relate to the core storyline of the militants’ protests, their mistreatment by the government, and the fact that when the mistreatment was exposed the public outcry helped the Suffrage Movement. The romantic interlude and the characterization of Carrie Chapman Catt are incorrect. See the Helpful Background Section. These problems can be briefly corrected and turned into strengths by discussing them. For a more extensive correction, students can be given TWM’s student handout, Alice Paul and the Struggle for the 19th Amendment: What Really Happened .
All that is necessary is to show the film and to point out that the scenes relating to the militant’s efforts and their arrest and imprisonment are reasonably accurate. Correct the historical errors by stating that while Alice Paul and her militants played an important role in getting the vote for women, Mrs. Catt and her organization probably deserve more of the credit. Certainly, they deserve more credit than they are given in the movie. It was NAWSA, under Mrs. Catt’s leadership, which did the basic political work of creating suffrage organizations in most states, getting states to adopt women’s suffrage and working with the President. In addition, not shown in the movie, is the fact that once President Wilson was converted to the suffragist side, he worked actively to get the 19th Amendment passed in Congress and ratified by the states. His political intervention was crucial in the success of the campaign to pass the amendment. Children are often interested in specific scenes that are accurate portrayals of real events. For an extensive list see, Dramatization of Incidents that Actually Occurred .
Summary: The events portrayed in the film relating to the protests and the efforts of the U.S. government to suppress those protests are extremely accurate. The portrayal of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt and the impression that Alice Paul and the National Women’s Party alone were the driving force behind the suffragist victory are inaccurate. The romantic interlude is imagined and some reviewers have criticized the film as attempting to remake Alice Paul as a modern third-wave feminist.
Some historians agree that the militants and their White House pickets played an important role in leading President Wilson to endorse a constitutional amendment giving women the vote. This was also the appraisal of some contemporary observers. For historians, see Adams and Keane and Lunardini. For observations of contemporaries, see Stevens, and in particular, the passage citing a telegram from Walter Clark, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, p. 18. For the opinions of two women who were active in the suffrage movement but not in Miss Paul’s National Women’s Party, see Gluck, Interview of Jessie Haver Butler , p. 105 and Laura Ellsworth Seiler . p. 228.
However, it is generally agreed that the militant suffragists were just one of several factors leading to the President’s change of position and to the passage of the amendment. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt’s “Winning Plan,” NAWSA’s network of state suffrage organizations, NAWSA’s state by state strategy which increased the numbers of pro-suffrage representatives in Congress, NAWSA’s cooperation with President Wilson in supporting the war effort and criticizing the militant suffragists, and the political debt that President Wilson came to owe NAWSA, were probably more important than the efforts of Alice Paul and the NWP.
From an historian’s perspective, the movie’s use of Mrs. Catt for comic relief is one of its weakest points. Mrs. Catt was one of the great leaders of the suffrage movement. For example, here is what one woman, who understood the importance of Alice Paul’s leadership of the militants, said of Mrs. Catt:
. . .[H]er speeches were oratorical. They were profound speeches, they weren’t just superficial. They were tied in with the history of government and the theory of democracy and what it all means. It wasn’t just a superficial speech about the needs of women, but was a whole philosophy of the right of individuals to govern themselves. Gluck, 1976, Interview of Jessie Haver Butler, pg. 108
Here is an example of the eloquence of Mrs. Catt, speaking to NAWSA in 1902:
The world taught women nothing skillful and then said her work was valueless. It permitted her no opinions and said she did not know how to think. It forbade her to speak in public and said the sex had no orators. It denied her the schools, and said the sex had no genius. It robbed her of every vestige of responsibility, and then called her weak. It taught her that every pleasure must come as a favor from men and when, to gain it, she decked herself in paint and fine feathers, as she had been taught to do, it called her vain.
Moreover, Mrs. Catt’s leadership included much more than speeches. Her political skills and her organizational ability were superb and they were essential to the suffrage cause.
Every movie needs a villain and the filmmakers have made President Wilson serve in that role. However, once President Wilson came over to the suffragists’ side and with the continued unrelenting pressure of the White House pickets and NWP members who demonstrated at his speeches and public appearances, he did much more than make a speech to Congress. He repaid his political debt to NAWSA several times over by: (1) supporting the suffrage position in state campaigns; (2) later changing his position and supporting passage of the amendment in Congress; and (3) providing his political support for ratification of the amendment by the state legislatures. Women’s suffrage came to be one of the many reforms of his administration. When the 19th Amendment became law, President Wilson said, “I deem it one of greatest honors of my life that this great event, the ratification of this amendment, should have occurred during the period of my administration.”
The characters of Ben Weissman, Emily Leighton, and Senator Leighton are fictional. There is no record of Alice Paul having any love interests. Alice Paul was, apparently, totally focused on the cause of women’s suffrage and later, women’s rights. The character of Mr. Weissman was added to spice up the story and provide scenes in which the character of Alice Paul could be explained. The scene in which the Alice Paul character and the Lucy Burns character compete for a hat that they see in a shop window seems out of character for a Quakeress intent upon her “testimony.” As for the character of Emily Leighton, there is no record of a senator’s wife being arrested for picketing. This character and that of her husband are amalgams of several types of people who were caught up in the militant suffragists’ struggle. They are used by the filmmakers to describe these types and the roles that they played in the events preceding the adoption of the 19th Amendment. Senator and Mrs. Leighton also provide opportunities to show events that really occurred to other people. These include the scene in which Alice Paul recruits Mrs. Leighton into the cause by asking her to first do a simple and non-controversial task. This was a typical way in which Alice Paul recruited women to her cause. See Stevens, p. 12. The characters of Senator and Mrs. Leighton also allow the filmmakers
