Iron Jawed Angels


I recently watched the movie “Iron Jawed Angels” and saw and learned some very interesting things. At first I didn’t think I was going to enjoy the movie but as it progressed I got more into it. The beginning of the movie didn’t really make much sense to me because it was really slow and kind of boring. Towards the end of the movie was when I really started to pay attention. I think these women were doing everything right and had a really good point for what they were fighting for. I didn’t think it was right when these women were protesting in front of the white house and got arrested for “obstructing traffic”. In my eyes I don’t think these women were doing anything wrong fighting for what they believed in. While these women were in prison, I thought it was crazy how the one lady decided to starve herself. This led to most of the women following in her shoes. The one man in the movie said a quote, “give me liberty or give me death”, and I thought that’s exactly what these women were trying to prove. This movie was a type of movie that I don’t usually watch but I am glad I watched it.
