| Summary |
This short documentary tells the story of American icon, Inez Milholland, who broke convention with her striking conscience advocating for gender equality, pacifism, racial justice, unions, and free speech in the twentieth century. She became the voice of suffrage. In 1916 she crossed the country, giving 50 speeches in 28 days. Pushing though exhaustion and anemia, she fell at the podium, October 13, 1916, in Blanchard Hall, Los Angeles. She was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where she died a month later at age 30. Her last public sentence, "President Wilson, how long must women wait for liberty?" |
