very touching

A moving story telling how women struggle to fight for the right to vote.
Excluding the boring documentary style, the film shows the passionate and faithful characters of this movement.
They really devoted their entire lives to this.
But why such a woman must choose to be lonely all her life.

My favorite quotes:

Dr. White: "Give me liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry, an American hero.
District commissioner: Apples and oranges.
Dr. White: In oranges and women courage is often mistaken for insanity.

Lucy Burns: To pay the fine would be admitting guilt. We have not broken a law. not one dollar!
resounding conscience.

Senator Leighton: I don't know a judge in this district that will give you custody right now.
Emily Leighton: You won't take my children.
Senator Leighton: And how are you going to stop me? Can you afford an attorney?
Emily Leighton: An attorney? To prove what? That I'm their mother? What will YOUR judge say? That this is YOUR house and YOUR children? What am I to you, Tom, in your house? chattel? this is how you punish me? I am their mother! They are not your children to take!
the mother has a status of the outbreak.
