I can highly recommend this movie which is the story of the suffragettes. In particular they concentrate on the period of 1912 to 1920 and Alice Paul and Lucy Burns. It has a great cast including Hilary Swank and Anjelica Huston and is well done. My 13 year old sat through it two times she liked it so much and at the same time she learned a bit of history she might never have known about.
