Join the Chestnut Hill College History department, History Club, Phi Alpha Theta, and the Women's Studies Minor Program, for a showing of the film, "Iron Jawed Angels," which celebrates and honors the unceasing efforts of women fighting for the right to vote.
Iron Jawed Angels "tells the story of Alice Paul and the women of the 1917 Women's Suffrage movement as they fight for future generations' right to vote and run for office. Sacrificing their health, marriages, and the limited amount of freedom they had, women were imprisoned and force-fed after picketing and hunger-striking against war-time president, Woodrow Wilson; but survived to see the results of their efforts."
The film showing will be followed by a Q&A. This event is free. If you are interested in attending, please email Dr. Lorraine Coons (lcoons@chc.edu).
