This review is from: Not for Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Susan B. Anthony (DVD)
"Not For Ourselves Alone" is informative and inspiring. Watching it in the context of the 2008 presidential election is fascinating, since one can draw many parallels between the struggles of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the campaign of Hillary Clinton. The film also stands as a beautiful portrait of friendship and devotion to a cause. The "talking heads" make outstanding points, and the storyline of the film builds to the inevitable conclusion: women get the right to vote. Knowing about all the hardships and hard work that led to that moment is truly enriching, and that knowledge is what this film provides.

This review is from: Not for Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Susan B. Anthony (DVD)
I remember being a college-age woman in the early 70s, during the heady early days of the second great wave of faminism in the United States. I took a course in Women's Studies, and I'll never forget the sense of revelation I felt as I read of these two women, along with Sojourner Truth, Mary Wollstonecraft, Carrie Chapman Catt, Lucy Stone and others. It was as if the scales fell from my eyes as I realized that I was a member of A People, and my People were women, and there were women who fought and sacrificed for the freedoms I enjoyed. In ways too complicated to go into here, the promise of those days in the early 70s was only partially fulfilled, but watching this documentary on PBS reminded me of those great women who are not as well remembered in the 21st century as they should be. Anyone interested in the history of the women's movement, or of the history of freedom and self-determinatn in general, needs to watch this moving film.

I very eye opening story about a part of history we don't get taught in school. A very good documentary on two of America's most endearing women.
