“Suffragette” Honors Women’s Struggle for the Vote: Guest Commentary

“Suffragette” film makes Votes for Women movement come alive! on Vimeo.

by Robert P. J. Cooney, Jr.

What I really liked about the new British movie “Suffragette” is that it takes women’s drive for the vote seriously. It’s an excellent representation of the times and trials women faced both in England and the U.S. The film captures some of the raw emotion and idealism that drove these crusaders.

I have seen many war movies that present the context and the human impact of past battles. They show the bonds that unite a “band of brothers” and the lengths they go to preserve their honor while pursing an ideal. “Suffragette,” finally, treats women who fought for freedom with the same respect. It both communicates the plight of women in the early 20th century and shows the logic of concentrating on the right to vote to better control their own destinies.

WOMEN ARE AT THE CENTER IN “SUFFRAGETTE” FILM

Grounded in history, the film offers characters that reflect the lives of working class women, particularly those who spoke out to demand their rights. The film conveys both the official rationale of state repression (with little concern for justice), and the price the women paid with their livelihoods, health, neighbors’ scorn, and family breakups.

We might not want to admit that countries repress those who seek to change them, but history shows otherwise. This time, though, women are at the center. Consider when you have seen a movie last where this was the case. Women are rarely the topic, the centerpiece, or the point of a film –British or American. They have never been honored with an understanding record of their struggle for their own civil rights. The film reminds us how recent this revolutionary change has been. The shocking conditions and brave rebellions portrayed were part of life just 100 years ago.

I hope the film helps people remember that American women did not win the right to vote until 1920. Rejecting bombings and violent actions, American suffragists nonetheless grappled with the government for decades in the streets, in the legislatures, and in the courts. In 1917, a militant wing of the national suffrage association, inspired by the British suffragettes, picketed the White House. The Wilson administration’s reaction mimicked that of the British government. Women were arbitrarily and unlawfully arrested, harassed, beaten and jailed in disgusting conditions after their demonstrations were violently broken up. Moreover, this was before imprisoned suffragists initiated hunger strikes, which resulted in forcible feedings, for being denied the status of political prisoners. The history of repressing women in Great Britain and the United States played out in very similar ways.

Until the American story comes to the screen, we welcome “Suffragette,” which makes a major contribution to telling the story of the brave women who put their lives on the line to win civil rights for all women.

“SUFFRAGETTE” FILM OPENS THE DOOR TO DISCUSSION OF LINK BETWEEN THE PAST & PRESENT

But don’t wait for another film. Read some of the books that American suffragists wrote or that were written about them. Some suggestions are listed on the InezMilhollandCentennial.com website. Inez Milholland was an American suffragist, strongly influenced by the British, who condemned the Wilson administration’s inaction and died in 1916 campaigning for the 19th Amendment. She is America’s suffrage martyr.

“Suffragette” offers a welcome opportunity for discussions and actions that recognize the importance of this part of our country’s history. It will make you want to honor suffragists’ sacrifices here and abroad, and to join the celebration of the U.S. suffrage centennial in 2020.

Robert P. J. Cooney, Jr. is an author and the cochair of the 2016 Inez Milholland centennial observance with Marguerite Kearns, a project of the National Women’s History Project. For more information: InezMilhollandCentennial.com

VIDEOS: “10 Days in a Madhouse,” new film release about reporter Nellie Bly

10 Days in a Madhouse Trailer from TriCoast Studios on Vimeo.

A Nellie Bly special: Trade Cards from the collection of Kenneth Florey on Vimeo.

The film, “10 Days in a Madhouse,” opens in theaters across the U.S. soon. It’s a staggered release so don’t give up if it’s not playing right away in your town or city. Be patient. It’s worth the wait. And our video features vintage Nellie Bly trade cards from the collection of author Kenneth Florey. It’s a reminder of how reporter Nellie Bly was well known in her day. Ken is the author of American Woman Suffrage Postcards from McFarland Press (2015). He specializes in women’s suffrage memorabilia, and his books are worth ordering to make them part of your reference library.

WHY “10 DAYS IN A MADHOUSE” IS MAKING PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION!

Come January 2016 with the upcoming Academy Awards, the film “10 Days in a Madhouse” is likely to be talked about as a U.S. film with teaching and learning potential because of the period subject matter and a more than 90% women’s cast. The film that’s directed by Timothy Hines and produced by Susan Goforth brings to a wide audience the story of investigative reporter Nellie Bly. The cast includes Caroline Barry, Christopher Lambert, Kelly LeBrock, Julia Chantrey and others (Pendragon Pictures).

In this production, Nellie Bly goes undercover in 1887 to report on conditions at Blackwell’s Island, a mental institution. Her expose created waves all over the nation. And Nellie Bly opened the doors wide for women in journalism before the turn of the 20th century. We love Nellie Bly because of her women’s rights activism and her journalistic coverage of the suffrage movement that included a remarkable interview with Susan B. Anthony, her feature articles on suffrage conventions, as well as the 1913 suffrage parade in Washington, DC.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH NELLIE BLY FILM’S PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR!

In an exclusive interview, producer Susan Goforth and director Timothy Hines had this to say about Nellie Bly and the making of the film, “10 Days in a Madhouse”:

Producer Susan Goforth: “The way Nellie Bly handled her newspaper assignments became a journey of her soul. She handled her subject matter with grace, openness, and accessibility while always wanting to tell the truth to the people.”

“Nellie Bly lived in a time when only 2% of the journalism jobs were held by women… She opened the door for all women to be taken seriously as reporters.”

Director Timothy Hines: “I owe this film to my mother who was born in 1917. I was the youngest of ten and I grew up hearing the tales of Nellie Bly from my mother. I’ve always been fascinated by Nellie’s writings. When my mother passed in 2008, this crystalized for me the things that are important in my life. I intend to devote the rest of my life to films about women’s rights and minority rights…”

“If Nellie Bly had been a man, there would be statues of her. She would be included in history lessons instead of being relegated to children’s books for girls alone.”

TEACHING RESOURCES: Librivox has “10 Days in a Madhouse” in audio. It’s free. A shorter selection is available, edited by Suffrage Wagon News Channel.

New round of release markets for “Suffragette” film, as of November 6, 2015

“Suffragette” film markets opening on November 6, 2015:

Albany, Albuquerque, Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Champaign-Urbana, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Colorado Springs, Dallas, Denver, Des Moines, Ft. Myers, Harrisburg, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Madison, Milwaukee, Miami, Minneapolis, Nashville, New Orleans, Norfolk, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Portland, ME, Portland, OR, Providence, Raleigh, Richmond, Rochester, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Diego, Santa Fe, Seattle, St. Louis, Syracuse, Tucson, and West Palm Beach.

The “Suffragette” film openings in late October 2015 will continue in seven markets including New York, Los Angeles, etc. Other cities will be announced in the future depending on the audience response. If your city or viewing area is not included in the news releases for the coming week, stay tuned for future announcements. It all depends on the number of people buying tickets on the opening weekend. More cities beyond this coming weekend have not been announced. This is why publicists for the “Suffragette” film are urging theatergoers to see the film as soon as it’s advertised for the opening weekend. Early attendance drives the box office receipts higher and increases the probability that the production will be seen in more places or be shown for extended periods of time.

QUOTES FROM SOME OF THE FILM’S PRINCIPALS:

Sarah Gavron: “With the right to vote comes representation and when the Suffragettes finally secured that in England beginning in 1918, laws changed. Women were allowed to have parental rights, to sit on juries, to become solicitors. We must all remember that without representation there will most likely be no legislation to help the people who aren’t represented — men, women, and children facing oppression in their states and countries.”

Ben Whishaw: “Having to sometimes go against the herd, affirming ‘This is what I believe in’ – that is always relevant for not only women but for men, for everyone.”

Brendan Gleeson: “Suffragette advances the notion that by liberating women we liberate everybody, while acknowledging that there will always be a cost in human terms.”

Anne-Marie Duff: “This is the time to tell the suffragettes’ story. There are countries whose regimes diminish women, and countries where there is a terrifying preoccupation with external appearances rather than with women who are achievers.”

Helena Bonham Carter: “Around the world, there are still glass ceilings for women. This is a subject we must continue to talk about.”

Meryl Streep: “The full measure of our equality as human beings has yet to be gained across the world as well as here at home. I think it will shock people that this was London in 1912-1913, and how hard won the vote is. I don’t think any young woman who sees Suffragette can conscientiously sit out any election after seeing how people suffered to give her the right to decide her own future.”

Carey Mulligan: “There is a general apathy towards voting, especially among younger people, despite so many voices being heard online. So for them to see the dedication, hard work, determination, passion, and grief that went into achieving equality in a voting system is important.”

U.S. film audiences in a tizzy about limited release of “Suffragette” film

“Suffragette” film from UK directed by Sarah Gavron, directed by Abi Morgan, & starring Meryl Streep & others! on Vimeo.

This web site has been covering the making, production, and release of the “Suffragette” film from the UK for all of 2015. We view it as a window on an important part of American history that parallels the English women’s suffrage movement. Both the UK and US have suffrage martyrs (Emily Davison and Inez Milholland). Women from the US and England sent workers and speakers across the Atlantic to participate in each other’s movements. As Americans, we’ve been anticipating this film since 2014. Trailer.

GOOD CHANCE YOU WON’T GET TO SEE “SUFFRAGETTE” FILM

But will we get to see it? Don’t hold your breath. However, there’s a stirring in the United States. It’s unacceptable to tease us for a year with a carrot and then pull the rug out from under the film. The film opened in New York and Los Angeles on October 23, 2015. This weekend there’s another round of releases. We believe the film can now be seen in New York City, the San Francisco area, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Austin, and Seattle. Albany, NY may be next, thanks to Patricia Dolton who got on the horn and shook the social media tree in upstate New York.

If there’s enough of a turnout this weekend, perhaps the principals of the production will give a high sign to a wider release. But this hasn’t been their intention. The word has leaked out that the plan has been to give the film a flash release and then poof. It will disappear. But the cat is out of the bag. “Suffragette” is sending shock waves throughout the UK and those in the US who have seen it in the limited number of theaters and pre-release events.

A few Hollywood reviewers have panned the film, saying that “Suffragette” doesn’t inspire them. But they don’t speak for a growing constituency of people annoyed that the largest nonviolent social revolution in the United States (the women’s suffrage movement) either wasn’t taught to them in history class, or if it was, only marginally with a photo and caption of Susan B. Anthony who spent 50 years of her life organizing for women’s voting rights.

JOIN THE EFFORT TO SUPPORT WIDESPREAD RELEASE FOR THE “SUFFRAGETTE” FILM

Turning Point Suffragist Memorial and Womenon20s.org are mobilizing their networks to get people into the theaters. Don’t take these efforts lightly. The film is important because the content is relevant for us today. Hollywood films where women move the plot forward are rare. Women have been shut out of Hollywood in pivotal roles, and women-focused stories are few and far between in the entertainment industry.

The “Suffragette” film is about women taking charge of their lives and future. It’s written, directed, and performed by mostly women. It faced a uphill struggle in financing and various aspects of its production.

The film’s potential is tremendous. The HBO production of “Iron Jawed Angels” released in 2004 is still being shown by community organizations throughout the nation who are sponsoring the film’s showings to educate about the right to vote and the long and hard struggle in the United States to win these rights.

“10 DAYS IN A MADHOUSE” IS AN IMPORTANT FILM TO WATCH FOR IN NOVEMBER

And get ready for another surprise: the November 2015 release of “10 Days in a Madhouse” (directed by Timothy Hines and produced by Susan Goforth) about investigative reporter and suffrage activist Nellie Bly. More about that production soon on SuffrageCentennials.com and a special November program at Suffrage Wagon Cafe on November 8, 2015.

Don’t take anything for granted. If you are in any of the “Suffragette” film markets, make plans NOW. Buy tickets. Organize a night out on the town. Buy out a theatre for a performance. And watch for “10 Days in a Madhouse” in November. Trailer. Support these productions because they’re part of a movement to bring women’s history to a larger audience. Next year, 2016, is an election year, and descendants of the anti-suffrage movement of more than 100 years ago have been getting nervous.

Parties for Elizabeth Cady Stanton in November: 200 years old, plus “Suffragette” film spin

Birthday parties for Elizabeth Cady Stanton in New York during November! on Vimeo.

It’s a terrific time to be celebrating the 200th birthday of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The “Suffragette” film has been released in the United States. And just as we hoped, the release of “Suffragette” is bringing attention to the U.S. movement to win voting rights for women. It’s been in the shadows far too long. Even Time Magazine this week highlighted the centennial observance of the 1915 big suffrage parade in New York City. And there’s more to come (we hope)!

The 200th birthday party for Mrs. Stanton at Cooper Union on November 12, 2015 (7:30 p.m.) includes a long lineup of entertainers and performers for the program, “Declaration of Sentiments: The Remix.” It’s presented by the NYC Department of Records and Information Services and WomensActivism.NYC at The Great Hall at Cooper Union, 7 East 7th Street, New York, NY 10003 sponsored by the City of NY, Mayors Fund to Advance NYC, The Cooper Union, and Lebenthal Asset Management.

The occasion is also being celebrated in Seneca Falls, NY on November 14, 2015 at the the Women’s Rights National Historical Park. The event starts at 4 p.m. with a “Winter Wheat Gathering” inside the Wesleyan Chapel, site of the first Women’s Rights Convention in 1848. Dramatic re-enactments by historical researchers, biographers, and interpreters will honor Mrs. Stanton’s women’s rights activism. At 6 p.m., the event will move to Fall Street, the Gould Hotel, for a reception with birthday cake, punch, and dancing. All events are free and open to the public. The public is invited to dress in 19th century period attire. Women’s Rights National Historical Park is open Wednesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information: (315) 568-2991.
