I did like what I saw of FS. Something to blog about when I finally do!Jenny Allworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518779478842699970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-42787726568703007022013-05-21T19:18:44.770-04:002013-05-21T19:18:44.770-04:00Hi Jane.

There will be several times that your irrational brain will become enraged to the point you will want to inflict bodily harm on the nearest male. Just breathe through it until your rational brain regains control. <br /><br />You will desperately want to travel bank in time, grab a sign, and march for the right to vote. You will also wish desperately to connect with any female ancestor from this time. These feeling will be overwhelming. You may be left with a deep burning desire to wipe out any injustices against women left in the entire universe. <br /><br />You will never ever take the right to vote lightly again. You will want to vote at every single opportunity even if it is for the local dog catcher. I watched it YEARS ago and the feelings the movie evoked never ebbed. Example? My 20 year-old daughter told me that voting was worthless and she was not doing it anymore. I lost my mind and the ensuing rant lasted 20-minutes (my husband started timing me after the first 5. He often bemoans that he didn’t have any means to record me). She either learned a lesson or she is just afraid because she kept voting. <br /><br />Suffice it to say you will love it, loath it, and be outrageously proud of the woman in equal measure. I cannot wait to read your review!<br />Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975285881262785145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-54034577915786741482013-05-08T00:20:31.743-04:002013-05-08T00:20:31.743-04:00June Foryste is another in Forsyte Saga's sequ...June Foryste is another in Forsyte Saga's sequel To Let.Katherine Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257141301467724458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-46164393287901657992013-05-07T23:48:28.983-04:002013-05-07T23:48:28.983-04:00One of the main characters in The Winslow Boy is a...One of the main characters in The Winslow Boy is a suffragette, although I don't remember how much the film dwells on it.
