Blog #3 Iron Jawed Angles

I really liked the movie "Iron Jawed Angels." I learned alot about what women went through to get the right to vote. I really had no idea they went through such extremes to allow women to have a voice in politics. Not even just that but to be treated as equals among men. I must say that I will definetly register to vote and be voting in every election from now on. If I would have known how those women were treated then perhaps I would have been voting all along. Like hooks said in Feminism is for Everybody, if everyone was educated on feminism then everyone would support it. What suprised me most about the film was that women were rude to Alice Paul and the rest of the NWP as well as the men. I guess it was just so deeply embroided into their way of life they never thought of having a voice and was rude to them because the men were too. When Alice Paul got arrested she went on hunger strikes to prove that they were in there for committing no crime. She was forced fed raw eggs and threw up. I think that this is what ultimately gave women the right to vote.
