I'm Doris Stevens,
National Woman Suffrage Association.
...by the politicians, by the newspapers.
It's very important to raise awareness...
- Sen. Leighton, good to see you.
- Good to see you.
Good evening, Senator.
- Hi, John. Nice to see you.
- Senator.
Beautiful, isn't it? I'm sorry, I'm Lucy Burns.
Emily Leighton.
Gosh.
I'm actually part of NAWSA's
Congressional Committee.
National American Woman
Suffrage Association.
We're giving a parade.
Have you heard about our parade?
I really don't follow politics, Miss Burns.
I haven't the head for it.
We're citizens or we're chattel.
You don't really need a degree from Harvard
to figure that out.
Would you excuse us?
Sen. Leighton, it's very...
nice to meet you.
Muller vs. Oregon, 1908.
Judge rules in favor
of shorter working hours for women...
then goes on record saying
healthy mothers serve the public interest.
That was a victory.
And as you're a labor lawyer, are you not?
Those women were being exploited.
Sure, now they're being patronized.
We're not brood mares.
Labor law with a sexual bias
will come back and bite us in the ass.
The issue isn't opportunity, it's protection.
Women need protection.
We all need protection.
But when women complain,
people call it hysteria...
and rush to fetch the doctor.
As long as women accept protective law,
they can't expect equality.
They need full citizenship.
Ben Weissman.
Alice Paul.
Inez Milholland.
I'm hungry. Have you eaten?
A stout old maid with facial hair,
Carry Nation waving her axe...
when you say "suffragist."
with Madonna and Child?
Women who nurture the family,
rock the baby...
serve the dinner, serve society.
- Serving, serving, serving.
- Always.
But the new suffragist is single,
young, independent...
- Educated.
...and very, very beautiful.
She's you.
On a horse.
A cowgirl?
- A warrior.
- A herald.
Joan of Arc with 10,000 women
following her down Pennsylvania Avenue.
An ideal woman
who can lead us up the mountain.
- Or off a cliff.
- No.
Something like this?
You could do this for a living.
- You think so?
- He does.
What's the name of that miserable rag
you work for? The Washington Post.
- That's exactly what I want.
- Have dinner with me tomorrow.
When I do business with men,
we have dinner.
Don't you want equal treatment?
- I'm having dinner with Helen Keller.
- Don't stare, she hates that.
Have lunch with me.
I'd like to meet
some Washington Post reporters.
- After lunch.
- Before.
- Don't you trust me?
- I don't know you.
Would you like to?
Negro men have been voting
since the Civil War.
