Iron Jawed Angels

After watching the movie, Iron Jawed Angles it opened my eyes to a whole new perspective of the women's suffrage in the 1920's. The women in 1920's did basically anything to become equal and have the right to vote. One major thing i didn't realize is how much power men had back then and how little women actually had. The film in some aspects i think would make a lot of women mad and even men. The one part that mad me sad and mad at the same time is when the women were thrown in prison for "obstructing traffic" which was a joke, but when they force fed the women who protest while they were in jail by shoving a tube down thier throats and thier nose's. This really gave me a greater aspects on how women would do anything to get respect and the equality men have. The main theme in the movie is gaining women's right to vote, not giving up on their goals no mater what happen to them. Another huge theme that came from the movie is inspiration, because women who see this film now might realize why quit fighting now, women will never quit fighting until equality is no longer an issue. The women's suffrage of the 1920's was a movement not only for women, but for this country. Our Nation should allow women just as many rights at men, even today a women President . The movie and the readings are both related due to the similarites discussed by the article Backlash. Backlash is basically about women are still mad not because of the Women's Rights Movement, its because women still dont have the same exact quality. Now women have made great step to get the rights they deserve, but still the same equality between men and women are not the same and i dont know if they ever will and that is what Backlash states. Backlash showes that there has been progress and the progress is steady but the equality issue won't ever let me and women be the same. The one thing that sticks out in my mind is men and women in the work force. Women can do men's jobs but do not get paid the same as a man would doing the same exact job. For example men can work women's jobs such as a nurse and get paid more than a women nurse. I hope one day in the future men and women can have the same exact rights. Thats why i think the movie can be related to the article backlash because no matte what women do, they can go to jail, be involved in a hunger strick and still have to fight to become equal as men
