Movers and Shakers (Historical Inspiration for Contemporary Women)

This is perhaps only tangentially related to the book, but I thought I'd share it anyhow.  Last night I happened to catch the Ken Burns and Paul Barnes documentary "Not for Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony" on my local PBS station, and I really enjoyed it.  The film details both women's biographies, but the focus is on the suffrage movement in which both Stanton and Anthony were central figures.  I was struck by the way the women's political passion and resolve were fueled by their (apparently) sometimes tense, but always respectful, relationship with each other.  These women seem to me to be wonderful examples of the kind of creativity, motivation, and change that women can affect in the world when we look to one another for strength, inspiration, and support.

If you get a chance to see this documentary, I highly recommend it.
