1.) Lucy Burns – The movie accurately portrayed Lucy Burns. For example, she was imprisoned for her silent protest which happened both in the movie and in real life.

Carrie Catt – Carrie Catt’s’ character did not accurately portrayed her in the movie. For example, her character was portrayed as an antagonist in the film but that was not the case in real life.

Alice Paul – the movie accurately portrayed Alice Paul. For example, Alice broke away from the National American Women’s Suffrage Association in 1916 and created the National Women’s Party.

Woodrow Wilson – The president had never said anything about which sides he was on so therefore, there is no prove of whether this is valid or not.

2.) In 1916, Alice Paul did break away from the National American Women’s Suffrage Association. She and other women’s were arrested for obstructing traffic. While Alice Paul was on hunger strike, she was force fed and the processes made her throw up.

3.) In the movie while Alice Paul was with Inez, she was drinking alcohol which was not true in real life because she was not an alcoholic and she was also a Quaker. Alice and Lucy were never arrested before in England for silent protest except in front of the white house in America.

4.) She was engaged in one in London as well as one in France.

5.) The scenes in the movie were almost all true and had a lot of details and descriptions. This movie did a great job of persuading and describing the drama and excitement during this time period.

6.) There are many women’s suffrage groups today but none of them were ever bigger than the one that Alice Paul was in. For example, these groups today protests against labor laws by using hunger strike. Hunger strikes are commonly used in the Guantanamo bay today.

    Anne Moody's Journey

    Moody’s “nonviolent” sit-in at the Woolworth’s lunch counter may be her most famous act not just during the Movement, but possibly her life. The idea behind the sit-in was to request service at the segregated lunch counter of Woolworth’s. As the sit-in progressed, the white population became more aware of what was happening, and they started heckling and threatening Moody and her fellow activists. Nonviolence turned to violence when a white man rushed Memphis, one of the sit-in members. He was beaten up and arrested. Moody was dragged out by her hair, and her friend was taken from her seat by force. A few days after the sit-in, a group of Negro ministers went to the mayor with demands. The mayor ignored them. The nonviolent sit-in was supposed to be a message to the community and the country. Unfortunately, the sit-in, in the eyes of Anne Moody, was a failure because it had accomplished nothing.…

    It’s women like Alice Paul and Lucy Burns that had the determination and the strength to do what other women were afraid of doing, which was to voice their opinions in a society governed by men. They refused to work with the traditional system of the National American Woman Suffrage Association and calmly waited for the President, Wilson to decide that he wanted to support an amendment giving all American women the right to vote. Paul and Burns lead the National Woman's Party to picket in front of the white house from dusk ‘till dawn holding signs saying, “Mr. President how…

    Another area of the movie that I found particularly touching was the death of Inez Milholland. She died while helping promote and gather more supporters in California. Indz was a good friend of Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, she was also highly respected among supporters of the suffrage movement. The opening scene in the movie actually showed her riding a horse in the parade they had organized for women’s suffrage. Although we have seen this seen in the cinematic version, I did want to include a photograph that of Inez during that parade that later resulted in a riot with over 100 people injured in the…

    Myrtle- I don't feel as if the actor of Karen Black did a great job or a terrible job in the attempt of the Fitzgerald portrayal. In the movie, she seems more of a crazy, and physco lady rather than an intimate and luring woman. Such as when she ate the blood off of her bloody hand in the move of The Great…

    A second method the women used to gain suffrage was that they stood outside of the White House gates and held flags and banner with messages asking about liberty and how long they would have to wait for freedom. Alice Paul even read parts of President Wilson’s speeches about democracy for everyone and then burned them saying that they actually meant nothing if women didn’t have voting rights here in the United States. The suffragists were bringing attention to why they should have the right to vote and how if the President thinks everyone in Germany should have democracy then everyone in the U.S. should be included in government as well. A third tactic used to gain suffrage was going on hunger strike to gain sympathy from the citizens so they would support women’s suffrage. When Miss Paul stopped eating the President sent a doctor in to try and prove she was insane for being suicidal and for threatening the president. Alice Paul outsmarted the doctor by saying she was not protesting the President, but the position and was not suicidal for starving herself but was just willing to die for her cause. Not being able to declare her insane the prison decided to force feed her. As a result, Paul wrote a note to the other women telling of how they forced a tube down her throat and poured food down the tube to her…

    Women’s rights became increasingly popular during the Second Great Awakening. It had its roots in the abolition movement. Document C depicts a women in chains, this is more than likely how women of that era felt about their position in government or anywhere else for that matter. Many women were involved in this reform movement such as the Grimke sisters, Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. According to Document I, Elizabeth Cady Stanton made this statement at Seneca Falls on August 2, 1848. “…But we are assembled to protest against a form of government, existing without the consent of the governed—to declare our right to be free as man is free, to be represented in the government which we are taxed to support, to have such disgraceful laws as give man the power to chastise and imprison his wife….And, strange as it may seem to many, we now demand our right to vote according to the declaration of the government under which we live.” (Document I)…

    The women’s rights movement had all but disappeared after the adoption of the 19th Amendment in 1920. However, in the post-World War II period, women increasingly realized that they continued to face obstacles in achieving equality in American society. Throughout the history of the nation, women in the United States have always suffered from discrimination and were inferior to men. Women quickly realized that change was needed and they had to do something about it. After World War II, women were extremely disappointed because many were separated with the work place and were also dissatisfied with their lives because they felt bored a restricted. Women came together to try to achieve equality after the war by creating the National Organization for Women (NOW) and attempt to pass the Equal Rights Amendment. The struggle women were put through in the past have now helped the rights and treatment of women today.…

    For me, the characters were just as I imagined them. For example, Dill fits his description perfectly. The book describes him as “small for his age”, very sure of himself, and tells very exaggerated tales. He is just as he is described in the book. The movie succeeded in the exact portrayal of the characters.…
