Editorial Reviews

NARRATED BY SUSAN SARANDON.

How could America call itself the world's greatest democracy but deny the right to vote to more than half its citizens? Why did so many people of both genders vehemently oppose giving women the vote, and how was this attitude overcome? ONE WOMAN, ONE VOTE documents the seventy-year battle for woman suffrage, which finally culminated in the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution. From Elizabeth Cady Stanton's electrifying call for women's rights at Seneca Falls in 1848, to the last no-holds-barred fight in 1920, this film illuminates the story of the fledgling alliances that grew into a sophisticated mass movement. To the end, crusaders faced entrenched opposition from men and women who feared that the women's vote would ignite into a social revolution. The film portrays the movement's leaders among them Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul, who gave their lives to making America a true democracy.

This review is from: One Woman, One Vote [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an unbelievable history of the strength and sacrifices that ordinary women endured for something they believed in. Everyone should see how their determination and efforts, which took years and years, finally paid off. Whether you are a man or woman you will be amazed at the incredible footage captured of those times. Very inspiring!
