Entry #5 - Iron Jawed Angels (Film Review)
Question #1
What were some of the concerns that kept many women from wanting to participate in the National Women’s Suffrage Movement? What kept Emily Leighton from participating at first? What do you think changed her mind?
Emily Leighton's status in society and the fact that she had been exposed to very little, if any oppressive treatment from men given her husband’s political position kept Emily from participating in the movement. In essence, Emily Leighton was a “good” woman as was taught a married woman should do; care for her husband and children, without interfering much with her husband’s affairs, social or professional.
Her lifestyle did not allow for her to experience first hand the many issues the Suffrage Movement fought against, having maids and likely servants to care for home. Although they were in a way second class citizens in comparison with men of the same class, women of her social circle did not serve others, as those in the lower classes did, nor had they the need work in factories for minimal wage and poor conditions, and did their best at not getting involved, emotionally and otherwise in any affair which required going against any institution or belief.
Emily’s change of heart came about gradually, first becoming a financial contributor, when briefly holding a flag in front of the White House for the first time, and feeling a tremendous sense of pride about doing so. When feeling the weight of her husband’s influence and power, and the helpless sense of betrayal when he threatened to take everything away even her children, just for doing something he did not agree with. Finally, witnessing the unfairness and mistreatment toward women in the organization, as well as their conviction to their cause, brought home the thought of her daughters living in the same conditions and pushed her to fully commit to the cause.
Question #5
Why do you think that President Wilson was not in support of the nationwide suffragist movement? What do you think changed his mind?
I believe Alice Paul’s considerate statement regarding President Wilson’s reaction to the Suffrage Movement’s pleas, and decisions made by his administration, which affected and threatened their well being, he understood how well educated, organized, and prepared to do whatever necessary the participant women were.
The persistence in Anna Shaw’s part, after the incarceration of most members of the NWP, as well as Senator Leighton’s publication about the treatment of his wife and other prisoners, endangered President Wilson’s political career, making the issues known to the rest of the world.
In my opinion, even after sending the amendment to the senate, I am not convinced still that Mr. Wilson, based on what I learned through this film, understood or cared about the reasons for all the sacrifices Alice, Lucy, and the rest of the Suffrage Movement undertook.
Question #8
What was the symbolism of the scene where the women were standing in the rain outside the polls while their husbands were inside voting?
It symbolized their strength, determination, and their relentless attitude. Standing strong in the rain and snow, is symbolic of the movement itself, the separation of classes, which made evident the problems and inequalities that existed within them.
Entry #14 - Old St. Ferdinand Shrine and Historic Site, Florissant MO
Although the date the first settlers came to valley of Fleurissant as it was called by its French settlers is unknown, it is believed that Florissant is one of the oldest settlements in Missouri, and historians believe it to be as old as St. Louis. The Old St. Ferdinand Shrine, as it stands today, is the second church for that early community of settlers, with its corner stone laid by Father de la Croix in 1821, replacing the first log church built which was destroyed in a fire in 1836. It was here that St. Rose Phillipine Duchesne established the first school of Florissant.
