Library to Screen Movie on Suffragists

The Tompkins County League of Women Voters, The History Center and the Tompkins County Public Library will celebrate Women’s History Month with a screening of the HBO Original film “Iron Jawed Angels,” Saturday, March 24 at 1:00 PM in the Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.

“Iron Jawed Angels” tells the true story of activists Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) and Lucy Burns (Frances O’Connor), who took the women’s suffrage movement by storm and risked their lives, friendships and freedom in support of the 19th Amendment.

This program is free and open to the public; however, the film is best suited for viewers 14 and older.
