Narrated by Susan Sarandon. Documenting in considerable detail the 70-year struggle of the Women's Suffrage Movement, this well-researched program highlights leaders and events, and also probes the tactics, alliances, and schisms that marked the movement from Seneca Falls in 1848 to the passing of the 19th Amendment in 1920. An impressive collection of archival photographs and film, interviews with historians, and quotes from Stanton, Stone, Terrell, Paul, and others set the movement in the greater context of U.S. history—the Civil War, westward expansion, the Progressive Movement, and WWI. Grades 7 and up. Closed captioned. Black-and-white and color. 106 minutes. PBS.
