classmates post :

While  the fight for women’s suffrage had the common interest of women’s right  to vote, the approaches of which different groups made to achieve  liberation was not a unified effort. The movie Iron Jawed Angels  primarily follows two women’s advocate groups, the National Women’s  Party (NWP) and the National American Woman Suffrage Association  (NAWSA). Early in film the character portraying one of the leaders of  the NWP, Alice Paul, outlines the contention and apparent feelings of  precedence over NAWSA, calling them old servants of families and  societies and fighting in an outdated, overly conservative nature  whereas the suffragists of NWP are young, independent, and educated  whose hands-on tactics are more effective. There is another division in  the movement depicted by the exclusion of black women in an effort to  maintain relationships with prominent political figures.

Chapter 18 introduces Progressivism. The Progressive era took place  in the early twentieth century when social divisions afflicted America  among the economic expansion of goods that produced millions of jobs.  Women reform groups worked to protect women and children from exploition  which ignited a new fire under the movement for woman suffrage. Divided  interests led to slower progress in the movement and steps backwards as  groups worked against each other while trying to move forward in the  suffrage movement.
