Reel Corner - August 2020
Celebrating the 19th Amendment in Film
Can you imagine living in a time when your voice, your opinion,
your ability to vote your choice was not recognized? Was not allowed.
Well ladies, that’s the way it was until August 26, 1920, just 100 years ago.
After seven decades of a civil rights movement to allow women to vote,
the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified.
In honor of the fearless, brave, courageous and patient women who helped make it happen, I dedicate the Reel Corner column this month with the following films. These are films of resistance, empowerment and justice.
