Things have not changed

This is my first time watching Iron Jawed Angels. When our professor explained to us that we were going to watch a movie about woman’s suffrages this is not what I was expecting, this movie went far beyond my expectations. This movie solidified the fact that women are still going through the battle of equality and there is still much work to be done. It brought many things to light to me that I would not have thought of without watching this movie.
Scenes in this movie show how much one gender is inferior to the other. A perfect example of this would be when the senator tells his wife that he has sent the children to their grandmothers, canceled her bank account, and has forwarded all of her bills to his office. As well as by letting her know specifically that no judge would rule in favor of her at that moment in time because she was “neglecting” her children by being apart of this movement and not tending to their every need. Nowadays women are expected to hold a position in the job market as well as to tend to the house and the daily chores that come along with a household. Things have still not drastically changed. There are still men out there that believe women should be the head honchos of the duties a house brings, but they of course are the people that run the house while the women scurry along doing the dirty work.
