Canada and the United States

Iron Jawed Angels. Directed by Katja von Garnier. Written by Jennifer Friedes. United States. 2004; color; 125 minutes. Distributed by Home Box Office.

The story of women's struggle for the vote in the United States is an inherently dramatic one, and each generation of Americans coming to this story emphasizes those elements deemed relevant to its own moment. Iron Jawed Angels is no exception. Its narrative projects recent historical scholarship on the women's suffrage movement utilizing contemporary music video production values in an effort to portray the subjective experience of female activists engaged in the struggle for the vote. While arguably struggling beneath a rock-and-roll sensibility, it nevertheless captures the emotional resonance of an important chapter in American history, and does so for a young, postfeminist audience sorely in need of its message.
