Women's suffrage leader Elizabeth Cady Stanton, first ladies
Eleanor Roosevelt and Betty Ford, noted feminist Betty Friedan,
Illinois Senator Carole Mosley-Braun, California Senator Barbara
Boxer provide a history of what it's like to be a woman in
America in the 20th century. From Stanton's struggles early in
the century to pass the 19th Amendment giving women the right to
vote to Braun's becoming the first African-American woman ever
elected to the senate in 1992, this video covers the history of
the women's movement. Included for coverage in the video are the
1940 Women's Centennial Congress, the debate on the Equal Rights
Amendment, the International Year of the Woman, and speeches
before Congress. Other titles worth noting in this genre include
Women Hope of the World and Women Entrepeneurs Making a
Difference. ~ John Patrick Sheehan, Rovi
