故事发生在上世纪初的美国,当时的女子并没有投票权利,爱丽丝、露西等数位女子为女性积极地争取选举投票权利所经历的重重困阻,以及她们所付出的努力和不懈斗争。Alice Paul and the women of the 1917 Women's Suffrage movement fight for future generations right to vote and run for office. Sacrificing their health, marriages and the limited amount of freedom they had, women were imprisoned and force fed after picketing and hunger-striking against war-time president, Woodrow Wilson; but survived to see the results of their efforts.
