Iron Jawed Angels The fight for women's voting rights has rarely been given as dramatic a treatment as in Iron Jawed Angels.

One Woman, One Vote How could America call itself the world's greatest democracy, but continue to deny the right to vote to more than half of its citizens?

A Century of Women
This set is a must see for all women! It shows the amazing women of "herstory" and documents women's struggles for equality and rights.

THE LIVES OF WOMEN
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY PERTAINING TO WOMEN AND DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THEIR LIVES. THE SERIES SKILLFULLY TELLS THE TALE OF A FICTIONAL FAMILY INTERWOVEN WITH HISTORICAL TRUE FACTS TOLD ABOUT ISSUES THAT ARE CENTRAL TO THE WOMEN'S CORE OF LIVING IN OUR SOCIETY. SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT WOMEN ARE PROFILED WITH THEIR CAUSES AND THE SERIES TELL THEIR STORIES WITH COMPASSION. THE ONLY FAULT WITH THESE SERIES IS THAT THEY ARE AMERICAN-BASED AND I BELIEVE THE SERIES SHOULD HAVE INCORPORATED IMPORTANT WOMEN FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO EACH IN THEIR OWN WAY CONTRIBUTED TO THE BETTERMENT OF LIVING FOR ALL WOMEN EVERYWHERE. WOMEN WHO MAKE APPEARANCES IN THESE SERIES ARE: TALIA SHIRE, OLYMPIA DUKAKIS, JASMINE GUY, ETC. AND THE SERIES ARE NARRATED BY JANE FONDA. I URGE ALL WOMEN EVERYWHERE, REGARDLESS OF CREED, NATIONALITY, RACE AND RELIGION, TO WATCH THESE EXTRAORDINARY SERIES ENTITLED A CENTURY OF WOMEN.
