"Feminist Angel" 2004 Douban 8.7
Today's recommended female film, produced by HBO, has been nominated for multiple Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards, and the two-time Oscar queen Hillary Swank starred in "The Iron Jaw Angel", based on real history.
The film tells the story of the struggle of American women for the right to vote in the early last century, and in a society where women are inferior, no voting rights means no voice.
Feminist activist Alice Paul and friend Lucy Byrne and others co-founded the National Women's Party and insisted on fighting for the political rights of American women. They were arrested and jailed for demonstrating in front of the White House with slogans, and the activities were repeatedly suppressed by officials, while the women in prison insisted they were political prisoners and refused to confess. Eventually, thanks to unremitting efforts, the Constitution was amended successfully in 1919, and women across the country were officially granted the right to vote the following year.
Many people should have seen the film "Women's Suffragette" of the same theme the previous year, about the struggle for women's suffrage in Britain, this film takes place in a similar era, in real history, Alice Paul participated in the British feminist movement during her study in britain, which also affected her determination to continue to engage in feminism after returning to China.
Women's political rights are an important step in human history, and this step was not officially taken until the last century, but so far, these equal rights have not benefited every woman in the world, and it is still a difficult and long struggle.
