Iron Jawed Angels

Yesterday afternoon Mom, Carey, Katy, Sarah and I finally watched the DVD of the fight for women's suffrage, "Iron Jawed Angels," which we had brought with us from DC with the intent to do so at some point before Carey and Sarah went back to Montana. Nothing like last minute! I remembered it as being very good, but didn't remember just how good so was re-reminded.

And seeing it reminded me of when I had taken Carey, Sarah, John and Charlotte to the Sewall-Belmont House in June
for the guided tour.The girls did the scavenger hunt for kids and had a wonderful time, with only a little help from Jennifer and the docent. When we were done, the girls and I made up verses to "We'll never give up, we'll never give in"and sang it all the way back to Union Station and occasionally after that for the rest of the time they were in D.C.

Then, a couple of nights later Charlotte and Sarah made up a little historical women's suffrage play for my husband and Carey and me...three acts...in the middle Charlotte played Eliz. Cady Stanton and Sarah was Susan B. Anthony. And since then, Sarah has been adding in "Join the ERA" somehow, somewhere in almost every picture she draws. It's really interesting where she puts it...it's become sort of one of her standard designs along with hearts and stars,etc...SO....it's good and interesting to see how these things touch/change children....EXCELLENT!! And, btw, John was also very interested and impressed.
