Alice Paul and the women of the 1917 Women’s Suffrage movement fight for the right to vote and the right to run for office in the movie, “Iron Jawed Angels,” which will be shown at the library on Monday, October 29 at 6 p.m. Sacrificing their health, marriages and the limited amount of freedom they had, women were imprisoned and force-fed after picketing and hunger-striking against war-time president, Woodrow Wilson; but they survived to see the results of their efforts. This is the third film in the Dinner and Movie series and Deane Tucker, PhD., Chadron State College professor will facilitate the discussion; a light meal will be served. Library programs are free and open to the public.
