It's a historical drama about the women's suffrage movement in the early 20th century; most of the protagonists are women who talk about politics, gender, race, socioeconomics, and strategies to increase human rights for women.

I finally got around to watching this movie a couple of weeks ago, and it may be the first film I've ever watched that fails a kind of anti-Bechdel test.

As far as I recall, no men have a conversation in this film that isn't about a woman.
