Summary: Not for Ourselves Alone
Review: This film is truly a must-see. I was appalled at how little I knew about this remarkable and significant history. It is inspiring to see these women struggle for basic human rights. It is moving to hear about the tremendous friendship between Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. It is amazing to hear the words of one of the most provocative and profound writers in our nation's history (Stanton). (How can her works be so unknown! ) It is informative to learn about this very momentous period in American history. Bravo for Ken Burns. This film fills a void in our understanding of American history. Plus it is a very riveting story.

Review: This is such an inportant documentary. Every American should see this, especially women. Ken Burns and company do a fantastic job of telling the story of the friendship between Anthony and Stanton and how these women dedicated their lives to the fight for the right of women to vote. I am inspired to learn more about these two brilliant women that did so much to improve the lives of American women.

Summary: My First Video Purchase
Review: Yes, this is my very first ever purchase of a video. If you watched the PBS telecast earlier this month, the experience speaks for itself. Director Ken Burns has done his usual magnificent job of capturing and examining a piece of history. Whether you're interested in the history of the women's movement, the personal stories of Anthony and Stanton, or just enjoy old photos and film there's something for you here. As an added plus, if you 've lived in or visited western NY, you might see some familiar places--the Susan B. Anthony House, Genesee Country Museum, and various other sites in Seneca Falls.
