Iron Jawed Angels - Parade In Washington

[MsChasidy123]

im watching this in social studies..............does anybody know which person is carrie chapman catt??????

[breakingbenfan32]

Alice Paul and Lucy Burns were the greatest rebels ever recorded, in my opinion. They are truly two of the most illustrious women in our history.

[xajik3]

please find michael o'brien in this movie,please. show me time limit

[DEjANAEE1]

@MetalicaFan2007 what do you mean when you say they asked for the right to vote with none of the responsibilities?

[MetalicaFan2007]

the great pitty parades where women demanded there rights with none of the attached responsibilities and or duties and won

heres a great example of im sorry to say but idiots or atleast ones who were trying to cluster fuck the system with the typical make a lota noise at nothing and win tactics

i always point to this topic when speaking about equality its called the pengalim system i would be happy to explain why this so called voting rights BS was a scam u all bought into if asked

[elisab]

@MetalicaFan2007 honey, you're a metallica fan. that discredits any and all opinions you have on serious topics before you even express them.

[MetalicaFan2007]

@elisab you obviously have never heard any of there music then they have written country and pop songs as well as Meta even classicall and even so im not sure what music has to do with the level of someones understanding of the feminist movement

[elisab]

@MetalicaFan2007 I've heard tons and tons of their shitty songs, luckily everyone around me realized they were shitty and grew out of liking them around the age of 12 though, so I haven't had to go through the pain of listening to them for quite some time. The fact that you like such a band has everything to do with it. It discredits any and all opinions you may have.

[MetalicaFan2007]

@elisab yeah cause metallica is a 12 year old fad lol your just trying to be insulting (which you are horrible at) in exchange for lack of knowledge of the subject since you obviously are an idiot and have no idea at all about the backdrops and stories of these parades and the underlining agendas as all movements have all your oppinions are void since you dont seem to have any anyway

[emf56]

@elisab LOL i know it was like two months ago but i just wanted you to know that MetalicaFan made your dumb ass eat shit

[elisab]

@emf56 oh honey, im sorry that u have a horrible taste in music dear and that i'm too mature to argue with a 12 year old misogynist metallica fan for forever. you can't argue with somebody that dumb, sometimes u gotta be the mature person and let their dumb asses. i wouldn't expect you to understand, replying to two month old comments and having favorited "MY GRANDPAS DIRTY SECRET" and "Doodie Man".

[xajik3]

can anyone know where is michael O'brien? he is man in crowd. please type the time which was found him. once found text me.

[hotgirlchick32]

LAUREN HILL- EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING

[MrElculver2424]

(The first song)

[MrElculver2424]

Anyone know what the name of this song is?

[Yankeegal567]

I would have liked this movie soo much more if i didnt have to write a report on it :/

[rosedawson12]

@Yankeegal567

Yes, it was a great movie. maybe try watching it on your own time so you don't have to write a report. I am only 13, but i would have done exactly what alice did. I also watched the movie in school, but still became addicted to it! =D

[rosedawson12]

well i see theres a thumbs down...probably a man

[rosedawson12]

one person is a non-voter

[Mattyb88ful]

And homophobes today think public opinion is a good enough reason to deny equal rights to gay people.

If we had left it to public opinion women would still not have the vote.

[rosedawson12]

@Mattyb88ful

im guessing your gay?

youve got to be kidding in sure women would have fought but they werent allowed! we were stereotyped as weak housewives who had to rock the baby serve the dinner serve society. we were always serving, serving, serving. women demanded the right to vote for a reason. go look up the whole movie iron jawed angels and watch what the women went through. if that doesnt have an effect on your warped perception of this then you have problems.

[Mattyb88ful]

@rosedawson12

I don't see why you have responded to my comment with that statement.

The point I made - that public opinion is not a good enough reason to deny people equal rights - stands. Many men, if not most, were against women getting the vote. Even many women were also against it. That's what I was saying.

Of course there were many women who wanted to fight for the right to vote and et cetera but couldn't because of fear and et cetera, but that doesn't take away from what I said

[rosedawson12]

@Mattyb88ful

That is not what you said. you basically told me that public opinion was enough to deny women the vote!go back and read your comment. better yet i quote

"And homophobes today think public opinion is a good enough reason to deny equal rights to gay people.

If we had left it to public opinion women would still not have the vote."

I am only 13, but i swear to god i would have done exactly what the suffragettes did.

(continued on next comment

[rosedawson12]

@Mattyb88ful

(2of2)

I never even said gays couldn't have equal rights, but your suggesting that i said that!

[RenovatedLocksmith]

A woman's place is in the revolution. 

[webaholicsweet]

love the music background, anybody kows the name of soundtrack?

[Mattyb88ful]

@webaholicsweet

Vision by Hildegard von Bingen (Richard Souther).

[webaholicsweet]

@Mattyb88ful thank you.. love how sound this...

[Epikcs]

Not to be sexist, but the reason men got so mad is because we fought for our freedom, the right to vote, etc. and women asked for it like it was candy...

[dixophilia]

@Epikcs It's not like women could have even fought for their right to vote anyway. Women were not allowed to serve in war. "Our place" was to aid the soldiers. If we could, we would have fought right along side the men. Women weren't asking, they were demanding the equality they were being denied.

[rosedawson12]

@Epikcs

youve got to be kidding in sure women would have fought but they werent allowed! we were stereotyped as weak housewives who had to rock the baby serve the dinner serve society. we were always serving, serving, serving. women demanded the right to vote for a reason. go look up the whole movie iron jawed angels and watch what the women went through. if that doesnt have an effect on your perception of this then you have problems.

[pencil977]

i wonder when a women president will be elected....

[pencil977]

my class today at school watched this movie. very well done im still kinda confused who is the women on the horse i know she is important but who exactly is she again?

[vivahollywood]

@pencil977 the woman on the horse is Inez Milholland (played by Julia Ormond), an international activist, war correspondent, and labor lawyer. She became a symbol for the National Women's Party (NWP) as "the woman on the horse" leading the disenfranchised women to liberty and equality. She also campaigned in Europe for peace talks shortly before WWI (obviously it was unsuccessful). She was a powerful speaker and traveled the country speaking for the Suffragist Movement.

[Aysvin]

My high school Women's Studies teacher had us watch this movie today...the bell rang before it ended but half the class ((including me)) stayed until he kicked us out. I only had to go one room over for my next class but I was almost late anyway. Needless to say that we liked the movie, right?

[iSpurtz]

Holy shit. I just got super teared up.

[truthforrealtruth]

Great movie, great story, thank you very much for posting this!

[TAZUKIandKIKINASH]

were watching this movie in social studies, its soooo sad. BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :3

[AllisonsEmmettCullen]

I love how Demspey is eating food. he's enjoyin himself

[immaluvmachine]

did anyone notice that many of the flags have 50 stars in them???

[musicaltheatergeek79]

@immaluvmachine there are actually 48 stars. By 1912 (when this parade took place) all the lower 48 states had joined the Union. It's easy to tell a 48-star flag apart from a 50. A 48 flag has 8 columns and 6 stars in each column; whereas the 50 flag has 11 columns, but 5 stars in the first and only 4 stars in the second, then 5 and 4 again, and so on, giving it a diagonal appearance. As you can tell here (between 1:30 and 1:34), the columns have an equal amount of stars.

[CollinDood]

Women......lol

[bloomingrosevine]

@CollinDood

What is this? Just an insult to the feminists/? It is sad to see that the same kind of misogynistic speech is still used to tried to silence women as when the suffragists worked for the vote.

[ReflectedDream]

Amazing movie, amazing scene. The sad thing about it is that all of this is absolutely true. HBO didn't have to use the magic of Hollywood to make the suffrage movement more exciting. These brave women carried their banners through rain and sleet and snow; and men, honest respected members of society and lowlifes alike, heckled them and beat them and dragged them through the streets while the police watched- before arresting the women.

[wikipedia420]

1:04 LMAO!

[northblip]

at 2:31 the music from "VISION: The music of Hildegard von Bingen by composer Richard Souther is used.

[QueXseraXsera]

This movie is so cool! I admire the women who made it possible for us to have rights today by doing stuff like this. It's so cool to see the banners as they would have been in the 1900's, because you normally see them in black and white.

[GirlInColour]

wow, until i watched this movie, i didnt even know america had a suffragette movement too! we watched this clip in history once, but the music in the background was "cant hold us down" instead

[archergrl1996]

"Get off the street! Go home to your mothers!"

"My mother is HERE!"

Love that! Courageous, strong women!

[LostYesterday]

@archergrl1996 That is probably my favourite line from the film :)

[archergrl1996]

It's definitely one of my favorites. :)

[lilskates3]

the music = epic fail

[PapagenoJuan]

Votes for women!!! :D

[mstuhl]

everything is everything by lauryn hill

[iCraacked]

Does anybody know what song they used for this? The beginning.

[avalonw7]

my liniage marched in this march we have the diarys and journals.

[Chamelionroses]

Saw this movie the other day. Heard the cometary and was important to know. Know that the facts are kinda mixed and not exact in some places. The headlines on all the news papers were real from the time. There was so many dangerous riots on the suffragetts. Also the presidents wife dies soon at this time. Really interesting to read about. Crazy how people felt threatened by them just wanting to vote.

[xajik3]

@Chamelionroses does everyone know where is michael O'brien? he is in man in crowd. find him in this scene.because in internet no image portrait michael o'brien

[eothryn]

No, they held a parade, with Inez Mulholland on the white horse, and it was broken up.

[fishdified]

Is most of this just fact or is a lot of it exaggerated?

[CaptainSteelRain]

Most of it is fact. Actually, just about all of it except for irrelevant details like the fact that Wilson didn't actually use a car.

[MedeaNeo]

I like this film!

[Mahtalat]

I love this movie.

[zacsbabyv1216]

whats the song??

[countrySTAR06]

i dont think i like this movie lol

[aloriam]

My class is doing a play based on this movie! This is the hardest/funnest part

[hireheelsdotcom]

fabulosity!!

love this video (and love the movie)

posted it on the front page of hireheelsdotcom...where we celebrate women & dish politics...come visit feministas!!!!

[parttimelover2day]

I luv how they mix their parade version of Lauryn Hill's song with the actual song, I thought that was very interesting and cool. It was an amazing movie this should have been in the movie theaters.

[FantasyDSK]

I just finished watching this in HUSH

[lovestolaugh247]

omg i LOVE the music in here. My history teacher is letting us watch this which gets me out of 3 days of homework. i loved this scene. This is actually a video that schools can show and kids wont get bored!

[dalidog255]

My grandmother marched in parades for womens suffrage!

[iSpurtz]

@dalidog255 That's awesome. And this part and the force feeding scene are the best parts in this movie, in my opinion.

[pencil977]

@dalidog255 really? cool!

[megmurry]

@dalidog255 That is so awesome!

[xajik3]

@dalidog255 where is michael O'brien? he is in iron jawed angels

[sisterofasoldier1117]

n i say thank you to all the women suffrages for everything that you have done

[arielstephg]

i saw this last year in my ap us history class, i love this movie, and i love the music it has. but this scene is like..woah...i remember my classmates and i were going crazy at the fact that the policeman just walked away, we couldnt believe it all XD...i just wish they release the soundtrack for this movie XDD

[bolshoiboy8]

this movie is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO depressing.

[bolshoiboy8]

its depressing becuz of wut they had 2 go thru.

[xiongstar]

Love the soundtracks in here! =) Does anyone know what this song is called??? Thanks in advance@!! =)

[GNDRGRAD]

Everyting is everything by lauren hill.

[Ba88z]

everything is everything- lauren hill

[xisabellax80]

Actually, I kinda agree with gracem713. I think what she meant is that, either being pro-choice or pro-life, we have fight to eliminate what drives a woman to make that choice insteid of settling for the legalization or ban. I don't think a woman is happy to have to make that choice, so let's fight more for eliminating those causes. Both sides need to stop fighting each other (to me they're both fanatics) and help both woman and babies, cause neither have the blame for inequality.

[goingemoguy]

This video clip reminded me of the modern gay/lesbian rights movement. The gay community every year has parades and throughout the world there are both ridicule and violent opposition to their efforts. This movie is an inspiration to any modern day activist.

[VirginiaAnnHarris]

HOW did Alice Paul win votes for women, and what was life REALLY like for women before she did?

"The Privilege of Voting" is an exciting new series of dramatic sequential e-mail episodes that reveals ALL that happened on the very rocky road to the ballot box.

Shocking, sad, sexy, inspiring TRUE and FREE! Lots of historical photos!

Thanks to the suffragettes, women have voices and choices!

Great to read on coffeebreaks!

[RollandB]

Good movie, but the music was pretty bad.

[Airea85]

I was raised being taught about these women and what they went through for us. I wouldn't change that for the world and it seems to me something worthy to repeat with any daughters and sons I have as well.

[smjonesy33]

I love this movie...I was in this. In a couple of scenes...including this very parade. I am about 5 people over from the black woman who steps over the rope and joins the parade. I am also in a scene with Patrick Dempsey and Julia Ormond. Wonderful movie to be a part of!!

[altosax1st]

Wonderful movie. Part of me wishes I could have been lving back then to fight the good fight.

[SucroseTolerant]

PS Thanks for posting! :)

[SucroseTolerant]

People you shouldn't've given gracem713 all those minuses, just expresseing opinion, although gracem you should learn to express yourself a little differently. Not all feminists agree on the same issues, and not all see abortion as an exploitation of women. I agree with koshersaltine, it's more to do with choice. I personally don't approve of abortion in general, but I don't think the government, especially one nurtured by a patriarchial society, should dictate what women do with their bodies.

[dagufbal]

Tell that to the baby.

[greennovel]

one of my favorite scenes in the movie :)

[gracem713]

All I can do thank all of them. It's important to point out that all of these feminists were pro-life. I don't know why now when you say you are a feminist they think you are for abortion. Like Alice Paul said herself: "Abortion is the ultimate explotaition of woman." We deserve better.

[ammre]

wow, coul you have pasted this on every iron jawed angel clip out there? sheesh.

Choice. If you don't like abortions, don't have one.

[xisabellax80]

Don't be as fanatic as religious people. Put yourself in their beliefs: life begin at conception. For them, it's a baby so, would you agree someone killing a kid? I'm in the middle of both points of views, but both need to free their minds and put themselves in the other's shoes. That's the only way we can tolerate.

[koshersaltine]

just because you agree with someone on a lot of things doesnt mean you agree with them on everything. To do that is patently ridiculous, and while she didn't support abortion she was for women to have the right to choose what to do with their own bodies, to agree with the rstriction of womens choice over what to do with their own bodies is anti-feminist.

[Airea85]

Actually not true. Several of the early feminists defied the law by opening their own abortion clinics to help the poor who we not allowed BC and couldn't feed the children they had already. This is a very old argument.

[xisabellax80]

I'm a major in history @ WSU, and early feminists didn't open abortion clinics. Maybe you say that because you believe feminism started in the 1900, but it started in 1800. Without the medical advances, do you think they would have perform abortions safely? Actually, if you research Susan Anthony and earlier feminists, specially the one that published a newspaper back then, you'll se their statements were more pro-life that today pro-lifers. It's kind of ironic but it's true.

[Airea85]

I was surprised to see your response. I actually have a book of original documents (copies, granted) that do mention here and there the need for either the improvement of the social norms or the introduction of publicly allowed means of dealing with the unwanted and supportable (i.e. not enough food) pregnancies. I won't say that any major members of the movement agreed with the idea, but others did. I'll look for the book on line.(I was a history major too. Almost went to WSU. Neat!:))

[Airea85]

But Birth control, I.E. the pill and the like was commonly wanted, Alice Paul I think it was fought for that, though all my books on the subject are at my parents house while I'm at school.

[Airea85]

Last note, promise. I was about to sign out when I remembered a diary of a midwife from the 1750's I read. She performed abortions on a regular basis, though she never described how. I would argue then, that certain technology for it did exist, though it was very likely rudimentary.
