Democracy: the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representativesYet this was denied Native Americans until the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 gave them that right. In 1956 the State of Utah became the last State to grant that right.
Many states, including, New Mexico overtly did not allow Native Americans to vote until 1962. Which is abysmal given that New Mexico has a large Native population.
Denied to African American males until the 15th Amendment which states:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
And denied to American women until August of 1920, when the 19th Amendment was signed stating:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.
We have learned in class the plight of the Native Americans, African Americans pre-Civil War, and now the fight American women had to go through in order to vote.

1. Iron jawed angels was a good movie, it portrayed the historical events very well.
2. My views have changed, because I was unaware of what happened in order for women to vote.
that was mine.
1. I thought the movie was pretty good and rather powerful.
2. My views on the concept of voting being important haven't really changed but I do get the importance of voting to people. It is important to have the ability to speak up against your government but even though we are granted these freedoms it feel it doesn't really do much for it.
I agree with Sean on #2. I didn't realize what women had to go through to get the vote.
I agree with Ethan
I thought the movie was really entertaining to say the least. It proved that men and women are equal but people still these days disagree. It was mind blowing how determined Alice Paul was and her friends that went along with her. I have great respect for her, now that I know what she did and how she never gave up, even when she was punished for standing up for women's rights.
My views on voting have changed slightly, I never really thought it was that big of a deal, but now I see why people go all crazy over it.
my reaction to the movie i was very moved because the movie had a big part of history in it. my views of voting has changed after this movie because now i think that all people can vote of any race.
1) i enjoyed the movie vary much i find it inspiring and vary heart felt.
2) No not at all, it has more like strengthened my views on the subject. For i feel the ability to vote is more then just a privilege or right, to me it is a duty and responsibility as a citizen to do just as such. Also that all citizens have that right to vote no matter social standing, race, sex, and creed.
I thought the movie was interesting, my views have changed i was never aware of what women had to go through to get those rights.
I was completely shocked to see how these women were treated and what they had to go through to gain their right to vote. These women should have never been sent to prison and abused. I do understand that voting is very important and they everyone with the ability to vote should, because everyone has a voice and it should be heard.
1. my reaction to the movie: the movie was intense and i know that it was only worse when it really happened. I ended up crying throughout the whole last section we watched. It was like I could feel their pain, their hope, their joy. lol
2. my views have only become stronger because of the movie.
1) I think the movie was upsetting. I hate Wilson now. He kept making ridiculous excuses as to justify his means to punish the suffragists and didn't properly care for them in the jail. Horrible food with worms.. force feeding, beatings... It was awful! I feel sorry for Alice, too. She gave up everything for women's right to vote and didn't marry either. She had to die lonely.
2) I suppose my views on voting changed slightly. I really didn't used to care if I was able to vote or not, but now, seeing how men and women are opposites of each other from this movie.. I say we need a woman's vote in too, because they seem to know feeling more than men. Empathy and compassion. A vote is a fire escape! lol >.> Men these days, right? :P
1. Iron Jawed Angels surprised me. I didn't know women suffered that badly in order to gain their right to vote, and now that I do, it gives me an entirely knew background to women voting. Whereas before I had thought they only protested a little and the amendment was passed with ease.
2. My views have changed since watching this movie. Everyone, including women, has been allowed to vote since I was born. So, while I realize the importance to voting, I hadn't been aware to exactly how important it was to women before the 19th amendment. But, I can't blame them, I'd be just as enthusiastic and driven to get a say in the government under which I live.
I thought the movie was awesome. The force feeding was graphic but it shows us how horribly those women were treated and how they were willing to do anything for their cause.
My views have changed. To have your voice heard is a big deal. I never knew what women had to go through to get our vote. Those were brave women.
1.I loved the movie Iron Jawed Angels
2.My views on voting have changed greatly because before I did not care for it really but after learning about what women had to go through to get the vote I am so much more appreciative
3. I agree with Jen because I understand now why its a big deal
1) "Iron Jawed Angels" was, quite frankly, a very moving film. I have no doubt in my mind that Alice Paul and her accomplices should enjoy the status of martyrdom, the likes of which worn by other heroic martyrs such as Jacques DeMolay, Joan De Arc, Damon and Pythias, Martin Luther King Jr. and so on. Such courage and such steadfast faith is truly admirable and these women should be respected and their ideals emulated.
2) I have always felt that voting is a privilage not to be taken for granted. Our say in our government is essential and no voice should EVER be stifled. To choose not to vote is not only disrespectful to all those who fought for that right, but irresponsible and rather base.
1. In my opinion, it was an excellent movie. The movie captured all the events that happened perfectly and has much emotional appeal to it.
2. Yes, most definitely my stance on the importance of voting have changed. Before, in my admittance, would not care much for voting because it was not a huge matter of an issue to me. Now, they have changed so much. I had no idea how much people would go through and suffer to get their rights approved. It is admirable indeed.

i agree with Sean on #2 because I didn't know about what women had to do in order to vote.
I TOTALLY AGREE WIH ETHAN!!!
I agree with Spencer, voting is just as much a duty as it is a right.
1. My thoughts and reactions to the movie Iron Jawed Angels was surprised. I can't believe women were treated like that and that they went through all that trouble to ensure the rights of women.
2. My view of voting hasn't really changed. I have always believed that if you are given the right you need to use it. Now I just believe you should even more because the fight and suffering those women went through just for that vote.
I agree with Ethan.
I agree with Tasha, the movie almost made me cry my myself. Hah, not really. Maybe. Still it was a lovely happy ending for them.
i agree with jen, it was mind boggling how determined Alice was, and without her friends she would have never continued to press on with determination because she too, just like every one of us got discouraged, and couldn't find the strength to go on. She was a person just like us, and that shows us what we are all capable of.
I agree with everyone
Cailtin-I agree with you. President Wilson was a big meanie head. I didn't really know anything about Wilson before this movie and now I know that I don't like him.
I think it was a really good movie and i think its very important that it shows how we are all equal and we should all have the same rights and we should make this woman suferage worth it.Its very important that our voting laws have change over the years and am glad we acheaved all of our goals.
Jorge, I totally agree with you. After watching Iron Jawed Angels, I feel more grateful to have the right to vote, even though I don't really care if I, myself, am able to vote. I don't know. Alice's strength really inspired me. If I ever go to jail, I'll go on hunger strike too, if I don't like the food. (Not that I ever would, but.. *coughs*) :)
1) I really liked the movie. It was powerful in it's own sense. I admire Alice Paul and the suffragists very much. She had the courage to do something and keep on doing that something even when it seemed impossible. It truly puts our(mine at least) lives in prospective. Nothing is impossible until failure is the only constant outcome. Or something like that.
2)I have more of a respect for voting now. Before I used to think that if you didn't vote, you didn't have the right to complain. But now it's more of you should vote because it's something that has been fought for and some died just so you could state your own individual opinion.
3) I agree with Sean and Ethan on #2. I knew there was a struggle, i just didn't know the extent of it.
@Caitlin
Now, look at both sides of the coin, yes wilson was acting rather unreasonable, However you'd be making exuses too if you were tied up with a war in europe and here comes along another upon your very doorstep. Imagine the headache he must've had. I'm not picking sides, just look at this from a different perspective.
And also, she did not die alone, she died with worthy friends. She CHOOSE not to marry, for her own reasons. She could've just as easily married after the vote was won, she was still very young.
@Andy
Actually, even before the war, Wilson was making excuses and in a way, he even used the WAR as an excuse hoping they would stop picketing. She wasn't hat young back in the day. Once a woman turned 30, and was unmarried, she was considered a spinster. She was 32 when it ended. :,(
test
1. I think that it is ridiculous how many hoops someone must jump though just to get what they should have had the entire time.
2. My view on how important voting is has not changed however my view on how difficult it was to get the vote has.
Women had to go through out to vote in the United states. Men treated women really bad. It's scary to see in the movie "Iron Jawed Angels" how men treated them in their parade.
The way voting is today has changed since back then. Today everyone can vote, we all are equal. Thats how it should of been back then too.
test
Iron Jawed Angels caused me to realize what people went through for the right to voice your opinion and vote. My views haven't changed, everyone (kind of) should have the right to vote, because it is their right to have their voice heard. Iron Jawed Angels supported my opinion on this.
I agree with Andy, it was Alice's choice to not get married; this didn't have a huge effect on the story, though - it just gave us some insight on Alice's motives.
I thought Iron Jawed Angels was very powerful and shows how hard woman fought for their right to vote.
I now feel more importance in voting because others payed a big price for that right.
The movie Iron Jawed Angels was a pretty intense movie! I enjoyed watching it. My views haven't changed because i always thought people should have equal voting rights which everyone does now, so it's all nice and peachy.
i agree with ryan=o
1)The movie has been pretty good, It kept my attention throughout and it really kinda gave insight into not only the fight for the 19th amendment but also the sights and styles of the time. 2) No, I still would not fight that hard for the right to vote. Given, I haven't had a chance to yet, but for the time being I am content with people who actually know what they are talking about making all our laws. Uneducated people should not vote.
1: my reaction to "Iron Jawed Angels" was well disgusted in what Paula had to go threw to get the point across and get the right to vote.
2: Voting to me is nothing. It seems who ever we do get we get the same person nothing has changed besides the color of the president who promised change and still nothing but debt. i will not and shall not vote
1. I think the movie really helped emotionally impact people, and help people see how hard these women truly tried to get the voting right. It really helped me see the details of what they did, but I understood that it was very difficult to get the voting right, but I'm sure no one had any idea how bad they truly suffered, and it's cool to know about it.
2. My views are definitely still the same, I believe that everyone has the right to vote and nothing should stand in the way because we have freedom and we live in a democracy.
1. This movie was very powerful. I enjoyed watching it, & at the same time enjoyed learning how women got the right to vote.
2. My views on the importance of voting has somewhat changed from seeing what these women went through, & how much of their life they put into something that was needed in America; I'm very appreciative of it.
This movie was absolutely amazing; the fact that all of these women hung in there and gave up everything to fight for women's rights is truly inspiring. I personally feel that these woman should be praised and thanks immensely, for women are just as important as men, if not more, and should be allotted the same respect and privileges men receive. My views have completely changed on voting, the fact that these women went through all of that just for us, it would be a disgrace to not serve them and thank them by taking advantage and voting.
Also, I agree with Brittini, When they were at the parade, and picketing, those men were so vulgar and piggish; spitting and hitting them, shoving them to the floor. God forbid I had been a lady of that time, I would have been right there with those women, decking ignorant men in the faces.
I agree with Sara these women are brave women. They did what they believed in. In the jail i didn't know that they were treated like that. I makes me proud to be woman.
@jordon
I agree with you, because we really didn't get to see how much they went through until now.
I agree with Jorge because I didn't care about voting at first, but after watching the movie I saw how hard people fought for that right and it makes me appreciate it it more now.
1: my reaction to "Iron Jawed Angels" was well disgusted in what Paula had to go threw to get the point across and get the right to vote.
2: Voting to me is nothing. It seems who ever we do get we get the same person nothing has changed besides the color of the president who promised change and still nothing but debt. i will not and shall not vote
(this is keenan welshes' comment not jordans sorry about mispost.)
1. I loved the movie "Iron Jawed Angles", it depicted the whole women's rights situation very well. It showed how hard they really had to fight for the simplest thing as voting. I found that i had to cover my eyes at the force feeding part, but you don't realize how bad they had it until you really see the tube go down their throat and then them throwing ll the food up. I loved the movie and hope to see it again.
2. My views on voting actually changed, i never really noticed how bad they had to fight for what they believed in. I am so glad that we had women like ALice Paul to fight for something so much and finally got her way. I honestly don't think i would have fought that hard only because i would have been terrified.
3. I completely agree with you Sara, those women were extremely brave for what they did. I wish i could say that i have dont something like that in my life but for some reason i dont think its going to happen.
i agree with jhonathan about how uneducated people shouldnt vote but i still think voteing is a sham
1) The movie really showed that women had to go through terrible things in order to get the right to vote the same that the men had forever. When they were sent to jail, that was like hell because they were put into forced labor and when one of the women went on a hunger-strike, being force-fed was a cruel act and violated one of the Constitutional Amendments.
2) I had no idea that women had to truly fight for everything that they deserved to have because they deserved to have equal rights for everyone, including all women around the country.
3) I agree with Spencer Katoa's second response to the views on women's right to vote because the views have changed for every citizen that lived in the U.S. on March 13, 1920. After that single event that all changed after a senator got a tellagram that said,"Don't come home if you don't vote for woman's rights," and that's when the U.S. was placed into balance of all citizens of both sex.
I feel these women were very brave and courageous for fighting for what they believe. They were willing to give up their lives for a cause in which they shouldn't have had to fight.
I now know why women stress the importance of voting because it sure wasn't handed to them on a silver platter. It would be an insult ,to these women who risked everything, if women these days did't vote "just because."
I agree with you Jen about how those suffragists risked everything for the right to vote, and how important it is to vote.
1. Iron Jawed Angels, was a great movie. It touched my heart a lot. It was very sad about how the women were treated, just for trying to get their rights. I give the women props on everything that they had to go through to get their rights. They were very brave and strong as they went. No one and I mean NO ONE should EVER have to go through something like this women had too. It was very disrespectful in so many different ways.
2. Yes, my views have changed, due to everyone should be treated the same wether you are a different color, gender, religion, and ect. No one should be treated any differently then the way that you would want to be.
1. I was extremely shocked about things that happened! They fought very hard and it was very moving! It was great to see what they went through.
2. I will never miss a voting opportunity after seeing how hard women fought to get us the right. I will make sure I know what the political situation is so I am fully aware on what I vote for! I am very thankful to the women that got everyone the 19th amendment!!
3. Jacquelyne- I agree with you on # 2 everyone should vote because we had women fight so hard for us to be able to vote. Also people shouldn't complain if they didn't vote because they have the right and they should take full advantage of it!
1.I felt sad for the people who had to go through this and that the government had to be pressured into passing this amendment because they said that the women were fine but they were being force fed which is against the eighth amendment so technically the government had to or else there would be a lot of trouble. 2.My views on the importance of voting has changed somewhat for I thought that voting was just to vote but now I realize that it is not just to vote it is to have a voice in a country where you are allowed to have a voice.
3.I agree with Franco because even I didn't realize what women had to go through to get the right to vote.
Astrih Valenzuela- Iron Jawed Angels surprise me alot!!! because I really didnt have that much of an idea about what women went through to get their good cause done..over all it was an awsome movie really enjoyed it! And glad it shows that we are all equal..
Today every citizen in the United states can vote and be heard on what they really want...everyone now is treated equal..thats the way everyone should of be treated back then both man and women..
1.) I really enjoyed the movie Iron Jawed Angels. it showed the real and horrible struggles that women had to suffer through in order to get to where we are today.
2.) I believe that it is vital to vote. However, if you do not know what you are tlaking about, do not vote. Others should not be subject to one persons ignorance on an issue.
I loved the movie and everything that happened in the movie made me feel like I was there. it made you feel like you were there. I felt everything that girls went through.It was sad to see that Alice was forced to eat and they didn't care that she threw it right back up. They just feed her again and again. That was wrong,and even before Alice got there they were treating her friends poorly as well. They went through a lot and all the girls and women should have thanked them for what they have done. So thank you very much.My views have not changed I have always wanted to vote and I hope once I get to the age to vote I will. You can change everything by vote. I agree with Spencer he has the same views as
i do. Not so much it's your responsability but it's something you have a choice to do. And I think that people should vote because it change something for the good.
@ Heather LeBanc
I agree with you very much so, due to women shouldn't be treated any different them men. We are all human and should be treated the same. Cause in order to be treated right is to treat others the way you would want to be treated. But if I was one of the ladies back then i would also be out there helping out too.
1. I have seen this movie before, it was great. I loved it even more the third time. Amazing actors amazing how it showed the historical events in a very nice way.
2. yes at first i decided not to vote, but seeing how hard those women tried, I most likely will vote when I am old enough.
test
1. I really liked this movie. It was very moving and kept my attention. I did not realize that the women who fought for our right s had to go through of all o those horrible things.
2. My thoughts on voting have not changed. I have always thought it was important to vote.
test
1. I never knew women had to go so far to earn the right to vote. Especially even to the point of hunger and near death experiences. I liked how in the end it seemed as though the women had already cut their hair which symbolic of the change we see in the 1920s.
2. I have always been told it's important to vote. The only opinion of mine that has changed is the knowledge of what people went through to earn their rights.
3. I agree with Spencer that the ability to vote is a duty and responsibility. I feel this way because the things we vote for change our lives and make history.
1. I thought it was a good movie. It showed how women got the right to vote very well. I never knew how much women suffered attempting to get this right.
2. My views on voting have not changed, I always understood voting was a right that needed to be fought for but I never knew how much a person could suffer trying to get this right.
1.) I was shocked by the movie. I think it was a beautiful movie, and it was really cool that those women had the strength and courage to stand up to the president nd government, and fight for what they believe in. Even when they went to jail they were very courageous.
2.) My views on voting have not changed, because all along i believe everyone should be able to have an equal vote despite their race, or sex or anything else.
Lexi and Bri dont belong in the kitchen. I apologize for the false accusation which originated because I misunderstood a question that was asked.
1. My views on this movie have changed so much. Definitely changed my mind. I can't believe how much they suffered cold and hunger in order to pass the 19th amendment.
2.It is very important for everyone to vote no matter what skin color, sex or sexual orientation. e as humans have our own opinions and should be heard.
3. I definitely AGREE with JEN.
1. I really liked this movie. It was very moving and kept my attention. I did not realize that the women who fought for our right s had to go through of all o those horrible things.
2. My thoughts on voting have not changed. I have always thought it was important to vote.
I thought the movie was really good, and it definitely changed my views on the importance of voting. After watching the movie and seeing the struggle that women went through to get the vote made me appreciate my rights more. It is crazy to think that women had to go through all that at one time and I now see how lucky I am. Im amazed at what the women suffragist did to get there freedom.
i loved this movie. i never realized how hard the suffragist fought and what obstacles they went through for our rights. it makes me proud to be a women. my views on the importance have changed. i will no longer take that right for granted knowing how hard it was to actually get that right. in the movie one man said "courage is often mistaken for insanity" i completely agree. these women were unbelievably brave. i agree with raul, it has been very important that our law have been changed or modified over the years.
1. I have to say that I completely enjoyed Iron Jawed Angles. The movie was very touchy, and it was blunt. It was a clear vision of what they went through.
2. This doesn't really change my mind on voting. I have always believed that voting was an important thing. Women expessaly need to vote, we have been diened this right for so long that I feel that this is something we need to do so that we can honor those like Alice Paul. They gave up everything so we could have this right and i feel we owe it to them. Also I believe that you do not have the right to complian about what goes on with the government and the pres and laws if you do not get up and vote. So vote, follow the politics make your opioion.
Fabiola
1. This movie really shows how hard it was for women to figth for their riqht to vote and their was lots of emotions involved and justice.
2. My views on this movie defanittly changed know i know why it is so important for women to vote.
@catlin
Wilson didn't have a choice, if he voted for then he wouldn't have been voted for. It was ridiculous but he did what he thought was right. He also was not responsible to how they were treated. They got out of prison because he let them out.
Also a women does not need to be married to be happy.
1. This movie was a very interesting. It explained a lot and was an attention catcher. It made me think and be grateful that there were people like Alice Paul who helped woman vote.And to think that just because she wrote one letter, who got to the senators wife, that that's the climax of why the vote got passed. Once someone suffers and it gets in the paper, the country sees it differently. When really woman were suffering...just not physically.
2. My views have definitely changed. This movie made me realize that if they went through so much for woman that we should vote. And theres no reason not to, the woman got tortured for us and even though they may be gone, the least we could do is vote and use our freedom.
3. I agree with Jen about the movie. It really is mind blowing that Alice Paul would be that determined.
1. Iron Jawed Angels was a really well produced movie. It never lost my attention and really showed the great struggles.
2. My views haven't changed much. I knew the struggle and how important it was and is to vote.
3. I agree with Ethan because it is important to have the ability to say what you wish in your government.
The movie was better than i expected it to be, but my views on voting are the same. I mean I understand that voting is important but i dont really care to vote...
@ Franco
i defanitly agree with you my view changed to for the womens votes.
I like what Sam said about how this lets us honor women like Alice Paul.
1. I really liked the movie. It's exciting to watch how women had to fight for their rights and how they really got treated in the prison.
2. I still think voting is not that important because the government won't listen either. They do what is the best for the Country, no for the people. For People, it might be important to vote because they feel better then and they actually think they made a change.
3. I agree with Andy. The movie was moving, and it is admirable how the women fought for their right.
1. Iron Jawed Angels was one of the best movies I have ever seen(: I loved this movie.. It made me cry, but they were happy tears(: I'm so happy that after everything they went through that they finally got to vote! It's amazing!(: I wanted to strangle that president!!!! Grrrrrr.
2. Nope, they haven't changed. I've always felt strongly on the importance of voting. But now I know what they had to go through to get the right to vote. But I am now more appreciative that in one more year I can vote(:
1. I really enjoyed this movie!!! It really expressed the feelings toward women in that time.
2. My views on voting have not changed. I have always thought voting was very important and I'm proud to say that I have the right to vote!
@Andy
I totally agree with you that voting should most definitely not be taken for granted.
Awhhh Caleb(: Thank you, you are so sweet(: Hahaha. I definitely agree with you!(: Hahaha
3.) i agree with tvalente , because it does kind of make you feel like you were there in a way. It really makes you realize the harsh punishment all the women went through, and the "thank you" in your comment was great :) i think that is really respectful.
1. this movie shows how hard women fought for their rights to be able to vote & how there was a lot of injustice, there was also a huge amount of emotions. i liked this movie.
2. my views of the movie have changed and definitely the women's vote counts for a lot and it's very important.
3. I agree with Nicole, those women endured much pain physically and emotionally. We will never forget what they did for women to have equal rights.
1. this movie shows how hard women fought for their rights to be able to vote & how there was a lot of injustice, there was also a huge amount of emotions. i liked this movie.
2. my views of the movie have changed and definitely the women's vote counts for a lot and it's very important.
1. I think that the movie had alot of powerful scenes and it, was made really good.
2. My views on voting have never changed, but i think that people have the right to vote and no one can take it away.
1. i liked the movie because i feel that being able to see the things that happened makes it all the more different and all the more easier to understand. Plus the was they showed what happened made it even more powerful.
2. Yes they have, before i didn't really care if i could vote or not but now seeing what all those women went through made such a difference. i can't wait to vote!
3. i agree with caitlin about how wilson acted horrible towered the women and i would like to punch him in the face after seeing this movie.
1. I enjoyed the movie. It powerfully portrayed the struggle that women went through to get the right to vote. It's easy to read about it in books and not look at the names as actual people, but the movie connects you to them and lets you see them as human beings rather than simply names.
2. My views haven't really changed. Voting is an important right to have, and I can appreciate that people went through a great deal to get that right. But my personal views are that politicians are almost always corrupt, and I sort of take South Park's stance on it....It's a choice between two...not very appealing items. I have lots of respect for those women, but for me it's more the concept that we have the option that is important, because we are looked upon as political equals with as much to say as any other citizen.
3. @ Caitlin: Sexism goes both ways. Men are capable of empathy and compassion, too. The women in this movie were fighting for gender equality...Not superiority. Basing your opinions of a person solely on gender is just as bad as basing it off of race or heritage. People are individuals; just as not all women are the same, not all men are the same. Human beings are too complex to be defined by only one characteristic
1) I feel that this movie tries to show the suffering that these women went through to get their right to vote. As had happened before, with blacks and other races, hey where imprisoned and treated very poorly based on what they believed. This movie unlike many other movies on this sort of topic, showed vividly what was done to these activists.
2) My views on voting haven't changed, but just adds to the sense of duty we should all have to succeed in our right to vote. What these women have gone through, African Americans, and EVERY race in this country, when we fought our revolution; should show we wanted this right. Now, as we have it we should not forget about it and loose this right. Voting lets us have our say and not be "ruled over" but self governed.
I agree with duff because It would be crazy for us not to vote after everything they went through to get us that right.I am also ammazzed by their courge and hard work.
@kwenk i agree with you bcuz it was areally good movie and we have alto of similar views. : )
1. Iron Jawed Angels, I thought, was a really good movie. I liked it a lot. How they portrayed everything that happened to achieve the rights of women was very interesting. I never really knew exactly what they went through and I thought the movie did a great job of re-enacting the time.
2. My views on voting have slightly changed. I always thought that when I was old enough to vote, I would. Now I definitely will vote not only because I want to but because of how hard women worked and gave their all to give us these rights. It almost seems a little ridiculous to not take advantage of being able to vote.
3. I agree with Joshua. 100%. Women did work hard and went over the hills and through the woods to get their rights. Also voting is important because you need to have a voice. Perfect and well said.
1) First of all, at first this i thought it was just another movie to fall asleep to, however, as i was on my way to sleep i heard something interesting that grabbed my attention. I started paying attention and sooner than later i actually thought this movie was very special for women as for men because it took bravery, suffrage, blood, and tears for women to get their voices in the presidents head.
2) My views on voting have changed because i use to believe that a vote, just one vote, would not change the situation or the law and the views of others.
1. Iron Jawed Angels was a very good and inspirational movie. It was intense and got the point across. the power that these woman gained was very important and amazing as to how far people would go or how harsh others could be. it makes me ask myself, how far would you go?
2.i never thought that one vote could make a difference but now i realize that without that one vote, woman would not have rights today. woman did a lot to get that one vote and it was worth it.
1. Well i thought the movie was pretty good to be onest it showed what women were willing to do to get egual rights very well.
2. I think about voting and i dont think its a big deal but after watching the movie im starting to think that voting is pretty important now.
1. Iron Jawed Angels was an AMAZING movie, it really made me realize what women had to go through in order for women to vote. Seeing that Alice Paul was force fed for her right made me wonder what I would do for this cause. Mrs. Leighton stayed in the prison without her daughters which is something I know would be hard for me to do. I knew women went through a lot for us to have this right, but I never knew that they went through so much pain.
2. Voting is something I never thought I would end up doing once i reached the age of 18, but due to watching this movie and seeing what women have gone through I will now FOR SURE vote for every election possible. I'd hate to not and have a guilt down inside just by not voting, I think all women should vote now...
1. The movie iron jawed angels was one of the best movies ive seen. it was kind of sad how much women had to go through just to be seen as equal among men. alice paul was in a way tortured for standing up for her beliefs and i dont think anyone should have to endure that ever. it kind of makes you feel proud for being a woman because they went through so much and never gave up.
2. my views on the importance of voting havent really changed at all because ive always seen it as an extremely important matter. without the right to vote, you take away the voice we have in the government.
1) It was very moving.. I never realized that women had to go through all of that just to vote.. It now means a lot to me. I never really thought i would vote right away, but now.. That view has changed and I am going to make sure I do.
2) Yes! I already said this, but I am going to vote ASAP. One vote has affected some major outcomes, that one vote could be mine.
3) @Theresa Murray, I completly agree with everything you said, especially when you said that these women were treated terribly and they shouldn't have been.
1. Iron Jawed Angels was a good movie, just how realistic the actors were on the character.
2. My view on voting hasn't really changed but i understand how important it is to have a voice in the government. Because it is a democracy and we the people have the choice to pick who we want as our officials.
1.) I really enjoyed the movie. It was great. It was inspiring and I am glad that a movie was made about this very important subject.
2.) I always thought that voting was very important. I also always thought that women are just as equal as men. But this movie did open my eyes a lot more. It made me really realize and appreciate the hard fight women had to fight to get the right to vote.
1) I really thought that the movie was really inspiring and it was heartfelt to see what they went through to get the outcome they wanted.
2)It has really changed my point of view of what they went through. I did not know that they went through such hard things. I really respect all woman that had to go through this and they did such an excellent achievement.
3) I really like with what Samantha said because that is how i always looked at it to like i really did not care about it at all until I saw this movie.
1. I loved the movie. It was touching. Not quite a tear-jerker, but close. It was hard to watch the force-feeding, though. I know its history but i don't like how she never got together with Mr. Weissman(?).
2. No, I still think voting is important. Everyone's voice should be heard, and then a compromise made to satisfy most everyone.
1. The movie that we watched, "Iron Jawed Angels" was a very powerful and moving movie. It was hard to watch some of the things that the women went through without crying. I loved the movie.
2. My views have been changed. I really didn't plan to vote when I am older, just because I really dislike politics and government, but seeing what these women had to go through, and not seeing the worst of it, makes me feel a bit ashamed for not wanting to vote while having the right. I will never take the right to vote for granted ever again.
1.) I thought the movie was pretty good and inspiring
2.) My views changed because now i know what these women went through
1. I thought Iron jaw angels was interesting, because i never really knew about this part of history. it was informing.
2. I believe everyone should vote because of the way people fought for there rights.
3. I agree with Jen because i think Alice Paul is a true patriot because she fought for what she believed in, she took it to the next level and would not take no for an answer.
i agree with brian l. those women did have to endure a lot and their vote really does make a difference, as does everyone elses.
I liked Iron Jawed Angels. It was very hard to watch the force feeding. I had to turn away. It was very inspirational. My views got stronger. I never knew how bad they treated the suffragists so badly. Before I agreed with them but didn't really think of what they went through. Now I am amazed and so thankful for them.
@ Heather LeBlance
i agree with you completely woman did give up ev erything. alice gave up her health and life to stand up for what she believed in and the other woman gave up her home live, kids, and husband to get her rights. those woman should have been praised better and will forever be remembered in history
3. I'd have to say that I agree with Jen. Me and her had basically the same opinion on both the movie and the concept of voting. It was nice to read and know that someone has the same view on the situation.
@ Jen
I agree with you the movie was pretty good and women and men should be equal
1.i thought it was a great movie. it showed how hard they worked to achieve in what they believed in. Dedication,commitment,and belief are all the keys in how their ambition to have woman the right to vote was successful.
2. my views of importance of voting has changed alot. WE decide who becomes president or senator, WE have the power to change this world.
I thought it was a great movie that not only represents that women should vote but that everyone should have a voice in our government. My views have not changed because I always believed that everyone should have a vote regardless of religion, race, or sex.
Very strong movie, it was pretty good. The importance of voting hasn't changed for me because I thought it was very important to begin with.
I agree with Jorge, it is very admirable.
I thought the movie was pretty good on portraying and reenacting the events that had took place for what all those women had fought for and won. My view has changed and it was one of the most worst hardships i have seen for something as simple as women for voting. I wouldnt vote if every american was not able to do so as well and it should reman that way it is forever.
1. i loved the movie it was very powerful and it really showed what happened to the women fighting for women's rights.. it showed that what they went through wasn't easy or respected by many. I think that all of the women in this will be remember for life which is god it show that we can all change our government if we take the time so stand up for what we believe in..
2. i always knew voting was important but i think so more now. if they were that willing to take a stand so i ould have the right im going to use that right.
@Destiny:
I agree with you on your opinion of voting. And some of my reactions were generally the same
I agree with spencer. I really enjoyed the movie. It was extremely touching. I also agree that voting is very important. It doesn't matter your race or gender ow whatnot, you have the right to vote.
1. This movie was inspiring and very effective. It gave the feeling of anger and sadness more so than any movie really gives off.
2. I really don't like voting, but if i had to, I would. My views haven't changed, i did not know all of the treatment that the women went through to get their rights. But I have no doubt in my mind that I would be with Alice Paul, fighting. Being able to fight for any right is such a big deal, being able to do this, what these women did is absolutely amazing.
3. I agree with Jen, Alice was amazing, never giving up on her friends or her position, this was truly an inspiring movie, and event. Voting is a big deal, and I may not like it but I understand why people vote.
1. I loved the movie. It was intense and really powerful. I was amazed at how passionate Alice Paul was for women's rights. This movie really showed the troubles the suffragists went through and how important it all was the future generations.
2. Yes they have immensely. I used to not care so much because I never really understood politics and such, but watching this I'm a little upset at myself for not taking my right to vote more seriously when Alice Paul and all the other suffragists went through to get me that right. I'm going to make sure to educate myself so I can have a voice and exercise my right.
@Franco i agree that the movie portrayed historical events well.
1. I Thought The Movie Was Actually Kind Of Good . It Was Shocking To Know What Those Women Went Through Just So Women Could Have The Right To Vote.
2. My Views On This Have Been Changed After Watching This Movie. I Did Not now That The Right To Vote Could Be So Important.
3. @Spencer Katoa I Do Not Agree With You At All. After Knowing What Those Women Went Through , I Think That It Should Have Changed Your Views On Voting Altogether . Those Women Did What They Did To Make A Difference And Change Peoples' Minds About The Idea Of Women Voting ,
1. it was a pretty good movie to be onest i didnt think it was that much of a struggle for women to get the right to be egual.
2. i didnt think voting as really a big deal, but after watching what these women went threw to get that right my view has changed.
I agree with Amanda Dugan. Seeing all these trials that these women had to face really does make all the difference. I'm sure a lot of people put it out of their mind. They take it for granted, or don't realize all that they had to face.
I agree with Cheyanne. That is exactly what I was thinking. I couldn't have said it any better. :)
@AnnaM i agree with you completely. equality is a key to this world and im glad these woman fought for it.
to be honest, i expected this movie to just be the 'average keep the classroom busy but educated about what we're learning about', but it ended up being a really touching and intense movie. i really enjoyed it, and i had chills throughout the whole thing.
i always thought it was important for women to vote, for anyone to vote who is under control of the government. but my view on it was that women stood around and picketed, and no harm was done to them. obviously, it was a wake up call when the women were brutally punished and hurt due to their reasonable beliefs.
and i agree with theresa, it was amazingly shocking to see how much those women went through to give justice to our generation. im so surprised and thankful for them.
i agreee with franco all the way i like his views.
1. Iron jawed angels was a good movie. very realistic character by the actors.
2. my view on voting hasn't changed but i understand how important it is to have a voice in the government because we are a democracy.
1. It was a good movie to show the struggles of women's right to vote. Although I didn't like how the people would mistreat them for what they thought was wrong.
2. Well I see how people want to vote for what their beliefs are, although I myself do not vote for religious reasons though.
3. I agree with ethan my views havn't changed at all for the importance of voting but I see how its important for others who care and how far they will go to get their rights
I agree with Donald.
It really was something so terrifying to happen to those women just for the ability to vote. I believe that it really shouldn't have come to that. I agree with you as well when you say that you wouldn't vote unless everyone got too. We've changed it so we all could I would refuse if that ever changed.
agree with kwelsh on what the lady Paula was force fed and puking was gross and unfair for what she had to do just get a right to vote for women.
Iron Jawed Angels was a terrific movie, much better than what I expected. It captured the emotional taunting that women went through in order to get their voice and freedom.
Never take it for granted, voting is our responsibility as individuals to voice you opinion. Only thing worse than not voting would be voting for something you know nothing about. The leaders of this country, the laws, society, and the world we live in is up to the people. Know whats going on in the world so that you and the american citizens can love the life they live and get the freedom we all deserve.
3. I agree with kdickinson, it is important to have a vote than a compromise
1. Iron Jawed Angels was a movie that told it how it was and was very raw on its materials. I truly enjoyed the movie. It proved that these women would refuse to eat even when they were force fed to stand up for what they believed in. These women were relentless. I believe that Alice Paul is a true hero and role model to the American woman.
2. I believe that voting is a very important thing to do. Especially for women. After watching the movie and seeing what these women went through to have their voice heard, I think that everyone should try and make themselves be heard. People continually complain about our government today but then to hear that they didn't vote, makes their comment pointless because they didn't even try to make a change.
3. Sam, I completely agree with you on this one. Women really need to vote to make themselves heard. After seeing what Alice Paul went through, I think that it would be a slap in the face if women refuse to vote.
1. The movie Iron Jawed Angels was a really touching movie. I didn't think about how important the subject was until I watched it and received a better understanding of how unfair women were treated back then. I would have to say that Alice Paul is one I have ever known/heard/learned about.
2. I never really had the care to think about voting when I get older but watching this movie made my views change. I will now vote when I am older because of how hard and long the women fought for that right. It made me understand that we have a voice in the government and laws that we live under.
I thought iron jawed angels was an amazing movie!
I loved how every woman that joined the suffragist group gave up everything they had just to make Congress pass a law for women to vote which was sad how they were treated. They all suffered for a cause that should've been easily dealt with. I now realize men can be complete assholes just because of superiority. (Excuse my language) let's hope no more laws have to be passed the way alice paul and her ladies had to go through to get womans voting rights.
I respectively disagree with Ismael. Voting should have nothing to do with religion but simply choosing the world you want to live in. You have your rights and freedom and now is the time to take advantage of the privilege.
1. I was not there for Iron Jawed Angels, but it seems to look like an interesting and inspiring movie. 2. My views stays the same since I knew woman had difficulties on able to vote.

3. @Ethan I agree with you, it is important we have the right to vote no matter, the race, color, religion, or sex.
@Diana
3) i agree with Diana, because like she said "no matter their race, sex, or other reason" we should let any American Citizen vote.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the comment above that is by: "Zachary"
is actually mine Zach Langford, i am having some weird problems with my accounts.
1. My reaction to the movie was shock and sorrow. I was shocked because of the courage they had to keep going and the determination the women had to get their rights. I had sorrow because I felt bad that nobody really helped them or supported them or treated them like they were people too.
2. My views have changed on how voting is impoortant, because it really shows who you are and that you care someone fought for that right to be able to vote and have a say in your country.
3. I agree with Jen because before the movie I didn't look at voting as a big deal or how important it is.
I personally didn't see Iron Jawed Angels, because I was absent, but that doesn't mean it's not an important movie. I trust, judging not only by the fact that Mrs. Burr chose to view it, but the other classmates seem to enjoy it as well. I know that women have gone through very much in order to be able to vote. I know it is important because voting gives us the right to decide our future, and have a voice in our government. That treasure is one that we shouldn't take for granted, because many others in different countries don't even have that option.

I think its great that Adam's opinion was changed
