I enjoyed the movie very much, though I didn't see it until well after it originally aired. I'm surprised the reviews weren't great.

Oddly, just before I saw IJA I had finished Sisters: The Lives of American Suffragists (by Jean Baker)-- rather out of nowhere, as I just spotted it out on a carrel at the library and picked it up on a whim. I'm still embarrassed by how little I know of this phase of our country's history. I recommend the book with some reservations-- it focuses more on the personal lives of these women, so it's a little chattier than I generally like my history books to be, but by focusing on five women active from the very beginning to the very end of the suffrage movement, it's a decent perspective on the movement as a whole.

I need to seek out additional books on this topic.
