As Americans recognize the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing (some) women the right to vote in the United States, the Bush Center’s Women’s Initiative curated a list of films for adults celebrating this important milestone and the incredible contributions of women and girls to our world.
