Votes for Women: Film Viewing of "Iron Jawed Angels"

Join us as Virginia Commonwealth University commemorates the centennial anniversary of the founding of the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia, which took place Nov. 20, 1909, at 919 W. Franklin St. -- now VCU's Crenshaw House. The ESL became the League of Women Voters of Virginia in 1920, one year after women won the right to vote.

"Iron Jawed Angels," a 2004 HBO production -- much of it filmed in Richmond, VA -- stars Hilary Swank and Anjelica Huston, and tells the true story of the struggle of several suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th amendment.
Film will be shown in the University Student Commons Theater, 907 Floyd Avenue, Richmond, VA.
