Meg: [ Reading ]
MY DEAREST MEG...

I REGRET TO
INFORM YOU THAT
I WILL BE UNABLE

TO ATTEND OUR
DINNER ENGAGEMENT
TOMORROW EVENING,

AS I HAVE BEEN DETAINED
IN NEW YORK ON BUSINESS.

PLEASE ACCEPT
MY SINCEREST APOLOGIES.

YOURS, EDWARD.

MEG, I'M SO SORRY.

THAT'S THE THIRD TIME THIS MONTH
HE'S CANCELED OUR PLANS.

WELL, YOU DID SAY THAT
HE'S TRYING TO BECOME
A PARTNER AT THE FIRM.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO
PUT IN EXTRA HOURS.

I KNOW.

I JUST MISS HIM.

WHEN WE FIRST
STARTED COURTING,
I DIDN'T THINK

THE MILES BETWEEN
CONCORD AND BOSTON
WOULD BE SUCH A PROBLEM,

NOW HE TRAVELS
SO MUCH,

HE'S HARDLY
EVEN IN BOSTON,

WHICH...

HE MIGHT AS
WELL LIVE IN...

CALIFORNIA.

WELL, MEG,
IF YOU REALLY
FEEL THAT WAY,

THEN YOU NEED TO TALK
TO HIM ABOUT IT.

YOU NEED TO LET HIM KNOW THAT
THAT'S... [ Scream of pain ]

[ Moaning ]

-WHAT HAPPENED?
-SHE BURNED HER ARM.

DAN, GO HITCH THE WAGON.
WE NEED TO TAKE HER
TO DR. PIERCE.

-ALL RIGHT.
-OH, JO, IT LOOKS REALLY BAD.

-WE SHOULD GET
SOME BUTTER ON IT.
-NO!

COLD WATER IS BETTER.

NAN, WE'VE ALWAYS USED BUTTER
ON BURNS.

COLD WATER IS BETTER.

OH. JUST ANYTHING, QUICKLY.

[ Gasps of pain ]

TEA LEAVES WILL BRING
THE HEAT OUT.

[ Moaning ]

TEA LEAVES?
WHERE DID YOU LEARN THAT?

OH, I READ IT IN
ONE OF MY MEDICAL
BOOKS AT PLUMFIELD.

REALLY? AND YOU WERE
ABLE TO REMEMBER THAT

AND PUT IT TO USE
IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRISIS?

SHE STAYED PERFECTLY CALM
THROUGH THE WHOLE THING.

HER QUICK THINKING PREVENTED
THE WOUND FROM BLISTERING.

SO, AS LONG AS YOU APPLY
THE ALOE TWICE A DAY,

AND KEEP IT WRAPPED,

YOU SHOULD BE AS GOOD AS NEW
IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

DON'T WORRY, DR. PIERCE.
I'LL KEEP AN EYE ON HER.

NAN, YOU SEEM TO HAVE
QUITE A GIFT FOR MEDICINE.

REALLY? 'CAUSE
I REALLY LOVE IT.

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL
ABOUT VOLUNTEERING WITH ME
IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

I COULD CERTAINLY USE
SOMEONE LIKE YOU TO HELP
ME OUT AROUND THE CLINIC.

REALLY?
I COULD WORK HERE?

IF IT'S ALL RIGHT
WITH MRS. BHAER.

WELL OF COURSE. I THINK
THAT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA.

OH! THANK YOU, MRS. JO!

IT'S GONNA BE GREAT!

I'M GONNA SET BONES,

AND HELP STITCH
PEOPLE UP.

MAYBE I'LL EVEN
GET TO OPERATE.

MAYBE YOU WILL.

I THINK THIS IS
A WONDERFUL BEGINNING, NAN.

NEXT THING YOU KNOW,
YOU'LL BE OFF TO COLLEGE,

THEN MEDICAL SCHOOL,
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT,

YOU'LL HAVE A CLINIC
OF YOUR OWN,

JUST LIKE DR. PIERCE.

JO, A WOMAN DOCTOR?

I THINK SHE CAN DO
ANYTHING SHE WANTS.

"DR. ANTHEA HARDING."

I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT.

-GOOD AFTERNOON, LADIES.
-GOOD AFTERNOON.

GOOD AFTERNOON,
MR. BRIDGER.

ADVERTISING FOR
THE CONVENTION, I SEE.

YES, I'M, UH, I'M GOING
TO BOSTON THIS WEEKEND

TO COVER IT
FOR THE CHRONICLE.

WHAT'S SUFFRAGE?

SUFFRAGE: THAT'S, UH,
AN EXPRESSION OF OPINION

BY MEANS OF A BALLOT.

VOTING.

AND SEEING HOW,
AS THIS IS A...

AN ELECTION YEAR,

THERE'S NO BETTER TIME FOR WOMEN
TO FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

-WILL YOU BE ATTENDING?
-OH, NO.

WELL, I WAS CONSIDERING IT,
BUT I HAVEN'T DECIDED YET.

AH. WELL, A ROOM FULL OF
OUTSPOKEN WOMEN WOULDN'T
BE COMPLETE WITHOUT YOU.

[ Chuckle ]

AH, WELL, I'D BETTER GO
PRINT SOME MORE OF THESE UP.

EXCUSE ME.

IT'S NOT FAIR THAT WOMEN
AREN'T ALLOWED TO VOTE.

NO, IT ISN'T.

THAT'S WHY CONVENTIONS LIKE THIS
ARE TRYING TO CHANGE THINGS,

TO ENSURE THAT ONE DAY
WOMEN WILL BE ABLE TO VOTE.

WOMEN WILL NEVER HAVE A VOICE
IN POLITICS, MRS. BHAER.

NO CONVENTION IS
GOING TO CHANGE THAT.

AND HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE
OF THAT, MR. McBRIDE?

BECAUSE WOMEN CANNOT BE TRUSTED
TO VOTE RESPONSIBLY.

YOU BASE ALL YOUR DECISIONS
ENTIRELY UPON EMOTION,

NOT INTELLECT.

WOMEN ARE JUST
AS CAPABLE AS MEN

AT MAKING INTELLIGENT
DECISIONS CONCERNING POLITICS

OR ANYTHING ELSE
FOR THAT MATTER.

BELIEVE WHAT YOU LIKE,
MRS. BHAER, BUT THE FACT
OF THE MATTER REMAINS,

WOMEN HAVE A PARTICULAR
PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY.

THE SOONER YOU LEARN
TO ACCEPT THAT,

THE BETTER OFF
WE'LL ALL BE.

[ Sigh of exasperation ]

DON'T LET HIM GET TO YOU, JO.
JUST IGNORE HIM.

IGNORING HIM
ISN'T THE ANSWER, MEG.

DON'T YOU SEE?
BY DOING NOTHING,

WE'RE DOING EXACTLY
WHAT HE WANTS US TO DO:

SITTING BACK
AND ACCEPTING THIS.

YOU'RE GOING TO THAT MEETING,
AREN'T YOU?

WELL I AM NOW.

[ ** ]

[ ** ]

Jo: IT WAS ABSOLUTELY
WONDERFUL.

I WISH YOU COULD HAVE
BEEN THERE.

THERE WERE OVER 500 WOMEN
AT THIS CONVENTION,

FROM ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY,

STANDING UP FOR
WOMEN'S RIGHTS,

DEMANDING TO BE HEARD.

IT SOUNDS LIKE QUITE AN EVENT.

IT WAS GREAT.

AND THE SPEAKERS,

OH, THEY SPOKE
WITH SUCH PASSION.

SUCH CONVICTION.

ESPECIALLY
SUSAN B. ANTHONY.

I'VE NEVER FELT SO INSPIRED
IN MY LIFE!

WELL, THAT'S NICE, JO.

NICE?

AMY...

THESE WOMEN ARE CHANGING
THE WAY PEOPLE SEE US,

THE WAY WE SEE OURSELVES.

IMAGINE WHAT
IT WOULD FEEL LIKE

TO HAVE THE SAME
RIGHTS AS MEN:

TO BE SEEN AS EQUAL.

-EQUAL. WOULDN'T THAT
BE SOMETHIN'?
-[ Chuckle ]

NOW, THEY'VE SET UP
THEIR OWN ORGANIZATION,

THE NATIONAL WOMEN'S
SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION,

AND THEY'RE ASKING PEOPLE
TO OPEN BRANCHES

IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES.

I'M THINKING
ABOUT DOING IT.

WHAT?!

WELL, AMY,

YOU CAN'T JUST
TALK ABOUT CHANGE.

YOU HAVE TO GET INVOLVED.

THIS IS OUR CHANCE.

I DON'T SEE THE NEED
FOR US TO GET INVOLVED

WITH SOMETHING
LIKE THIS.

WELL IF PEOPLE
DON'T GET INVOLVED,

THINGS ARE NEVER
GONNA CHANGE...

UNLESS PEOPLE
CHANGE THINGS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

PEOPLE LIKE US.

BUT, JO, THESE WOMEN
ARE NOT LIKE US.

THEY'RE NOT LADIES.

I'VE HEARD STORIES
ABOUT THEM.

THEY'RE RUDE
AND UNREFINED,

AND ONE OF THEM HAS EVEN
ADMITTED TO PRACTICING...

[ Whispering ]
FREE LOVE.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE
ASSOCIATED WITH WOMEN LIKE THAT?

THE WOMEN THAT I MET
WERE NOTHING LIKE THAT.

ALL THEY'RE DOING IS TRYING
TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR US,

ALL OF US.

I THINK THE LEAST WE COULD DO
IS TRY AND HELP THEM.

[ ** ]

HEY!

WHAT ARE YOU
STILL DOIN' UP?

AH, I CAN'T SLEEP.

I STARTED READING
THESE SUFFRAGE PAPERS

AND I CAN'T
PUT THEM DOWN.

[ Sigh ]
YOU KNOW,

WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP,
MARMEE AND FATHER TAUGHT US

THAT WOMEN COULD DO ANYTHING
THAT MEN COULD DO,

SO MY SISTERS AND I NEVER
THOUGHT OF OURSELVES AS
ANYTHING BUT EQUAL.

NOW THAT
I'M READING THESE,

I'M STARTING TO SEE THINGS
IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I PAY TAXES TO
A GOVERNMENT

THAT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE
ME AS A CITIZEN.

AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE
ANY SAY IN THAT GOVERNMENT

BECAUSE I CAN'T VOTE.

VOTIN' AIN'T THAT
BIG A DEAL, JO.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?

NICK, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL
IF SOMEBODY TOLD YOU

THAT YOU COULDN'T
VOTE IN THE ELECTION?

WOULDN'T BOTHER
ME ONE BIT.

I WASN'T PLANNIN'
ON VOTIN' ANYWAY.

-YOU'RE NOT GOING TO VOTE?
-NOPE.

NEVER HAVE BEFORE.

-WHY NOT?
-WELL...

I DON'T REALLY SEE
THE POINT OF IT.

I MEAN,
HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE

IS ONE VOTE GONNA
MAKE ANYWAY?

OH!

[ Closing of door ]

HEY, DR. PIERCE, I FINISHED
WRAPPIN' THOSE BANDAGES FOR YOU.

OH, NAN, DON'T COME IN HERE.
I HAVEN'T FINISHED
CLEANING UP YET.

OH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT, I DON'T
MIND A LITTLE BIT OF BLOOD.

WOW! DID ALL THIS BLOOD COME
OUT OF MR. BRENNER'S HEAD?

YES, IT TOOK 23 STITCHES
TO CLOSE THE WOUND.

WOW!

HEY, DO YOU WANT ME TO
DRY THESE OFF FOR YOU?

OH, THANK YOU, NAN,
THAT WOULD BE A BIG HELP.

-WHERE DO THE CLAMPS GO?
-OH, IN THE TOP DRAWER.

[ Clanking of instruments ]

AND THE SUTURE NEEDLES?

UH, RIGHT BESIDE
THE CLAMPS.

NAN, YOU'VE LEARNED THE NAMES
OF ALL THE INSTRUMENTS?

WELL, I FIGURED THAT I'M GOING
TO HAVE TO KNOW THEM
ONE DAY, SO...

I MIGHT AS WELL GET
A HEAD START AND LEARN 'EM NOW.

WHY DO YOU WANT
TO KNOW, AMY?

BECAUSE YOU SPEND SO MUCH TIME
AT THE GENTLEMEN'S CLUB,

I JUST WANT TO KNOW
WHAT YOU TALK ABOUT ALL DAY.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

NOTHING YOU'D BE
INTERESTED IN.

Jo:
AMY, LAURIE,

I'M GLAD THAT
I CAUGHT YOU.

I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD PUT
ONE OF THESE POSTERS
IN YOUR WINDOW.

WELL OF COURSE.
WHAT ARE THEY FOR?

WELL, I'M OPENING A CONCORD
BRANCH OF THE NATIONAL WOMEN'S
SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION.

I'M HOLDING A MEETING
ON FRIDAY AT PLUMFIELD

TO GIVE PEOPLE IN TOWN
A CHANCE TO GET INVOLVED.

ARE YOU EXPECTING
MANY PEOPLE?

WELL...

AS MANY PEOPLE
AS I CAN TALK INTO COMING.

I WAS HOPING THE TWO
OF YOU WOULD COME AS WELL.

-JO, I'M NOT SURE...
-AMY, PLEASE.

I REALLY WANT
YOU TO BE THERE.

ALL RIGHT.

SURE.

THANK YOU.

[ ** ]

IT'S FOR MR. EDWARD TRENTON
IN BOSTON.

AND IT SHOULD READ: "I HOPE
YOUR TRIP TO NEW YORK WENT WELL.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU
IN CONCORD SOON.

I MISS YOU."

I MISS YOU TOO.

EDWARD!

OH! WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
STILL IN NEW YORK.

WELL, THINGS WENT VERY WELL.
WE FINISHED EARLY,

AND I... I THOUGHT
I'D COME AND VISIT YOU.

I'M GLAD YOU DID.

OH, UM...

THESE ARE FOR YOU.

THANK YOU.
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

[ Clearing of throat ]

[ Happy sigh ]

I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU'RE REALLY HERE.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME,
I KNOW.

NOT A DAY GOES BY WHEN I...
I DON'T THINK ABOUT YOU.

-I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT.
-I DO.

IT'S JUST THAT WE HARDLY
EVER SEE EACH OTHER ANYMORE.

I... I KNOW YOU'RE
FRUSTRATED. I...

I COULD HEAR IT IN THE TONE
OF YOUR LAST LETTER

AND BELIEVE ME,
I FEEL THE SAME WAY.

IT'S NOT EASY
HAVING A PROPER COURTSHIP

WHEN WE LIVE SO FAR APART.

I WISH THINGS
COULD BE DIFFERENT.

-WELL, MAYBE THEY CAN.
-HOW?

MEG, YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN
DOING A LOT OF BUSINESS
IN NEW YORK RECENTLY.

-YES.
-WELL,

THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING
VERY WELL FOR ME THERE.

I MEAN, MUCH BETTER THAN
I COULD EVER HAVE IMAGINED.

AND?

MEG...

THE FIRM HAS OFFERED ME
A PARTNERSHIP.

WHY, EDWARD,
THAT'S WONDERFUL.

THEY WANT ME TO
MOVE TO NEW YORK

A-AND OPEN UP
AN OFFICE THERE.

YOU'RE MOVING
TO NEW YORK?

YES.

A-AND...

I WANT YOU TO
COME WITH ME.

[ ** ]

I JUST LOVE THIS DRESS
ON ME.

IT'S REALLY QUITE FLATTERING,
DON'T YOU THINK?

BESS, WE ARE FIGHTING
FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE,

NOT HAVING A TEA PARTY.

STILL, NAN, I THINK
WE SHOULD ALL LOOK OUR BEST.

OH, THANK YOU.

I THOUGHT YOUR SISTERS
WOULD BE HERE BY NOW.

OH. WELL, I GUESS THEY'RE
PROBABLY RUNNING A LITTLE LATE.

[ Knocking on door ]

Nan:
I'LL GET IT.

OH! THAT MUST BE THEM.

-ASIA...
-HMM.

THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR DOING THIS WITH ME.

WELL,
IT'S MY FIGHT TOO.

[ Approaching footsteps ]

Jo:
MR. BRIDGER.

AH. UH,
I MUST BE EARLY.

ACTUALLY NO,
YOU'RE RIGHT ON TIME.

I'M SO GLAD
YOU COULD MAKE IT.

WELL, WHEN I HEARD YOU WERE
HOSTING THIS LITTLE SHINDIG,

I KNEW THINGS WERE BOUND
TO GET INTERESTING.

HMMM. WELL,

YOU MUST ADMIT, YOU, UH, HAVE
A KNACK FOR STIRRING THINGS UP.

I'LL TAKE THAT
AS A COMPLIMENT.

YOU SHOULD.

MMM. WELL, LET'S GO
AND GET SOME MORE FOOD.

PLEASE MAKE YOURSELF
COMFORTABLE.

THANK YOU.

ARE YOU GONNA PUT US
IN THE NEWSPAPER?

OF COURSE. BUT I'M ALSO HERE TO
SHOW MY SUPPORT FOR THE CAUSE.

I THOUGHT MEN WERE AGAINST
WOMEN HAVIN' THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

NOT ALL MEN.

MMM.

DO YOU THINK WE NEED
ALL THESE CHAIRS?

Jo: OH, I WAS WONDERING
IF WE HAD ENOUGH CHAIRS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID
THEY WERE COMING TODAY.

DON'T WORRY.
THEY'LL BE HERE.

NOW...

[ Sigh ]
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

MY MOTHER AND FATHER TOLD ME
THAT THEY'D BE HERE TODAY.

I COULD STAY A LITTLE LONGER
IF YOU LIKE.

[ Sigh ]
THERE'S NO POINT.

IT'S OBVIOUS
THAT NO ONE'S COMING.

I'M SORRY, JO.

[ ** ]

[ ** ]

[ Twittering of birds ]

[ ** ]

I'M SORRY, JO.

WE MUST HAVE LOST TRACK
OF THE TIME.

YOU LOST TRACK
OF THE TIME?

WELL, YOU KNOW
HOW BUSY THINGS CAN GET.

THIS MEETING
WAS IMPORTANT TO ME.

I EXPECTED
MY FAMILY TO SHOW UP.

WELL, AT LEAST
YOU HAD MEG THERE.

NO, I DIDN'T.

MEG DIDN'T GO?

NO.

AND I DON'T KNOW
WHERE SHE IS EITHER.

I STOPPED BY HER HOUSE
THIS AFTERNOON.

SHE WASN'T THERE.

[ Sigh ]
LOOK,

I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE IN TOWN
BEING RELUCTANT TO HELP,

BUT MY OWN FAMILY...

I'M SORRY, JO.

BUT YOU KNOW THIS IS
A SENSITIVE SUBJECT.

THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT HAS BEEN
A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION

AT THE GENTLEMEN'S CLUB
ALL WEEK.

AT FIRST THE IDEA
OF ALLOWING WOMEN TO VOTE

-WAS NOTHING MORE THAN
A JOKE TO THEM.
-[ Sigh ]

BUT NOW THAT THE WOMEN'S
MOVEMENT IS GAINING MOMENTUM
ACROSS THE COUNTRY,

THEY DON'T THINK
IT'S VERY FUNNY ANYMORE.

THEY WANT THINGS
TO STAY THE SAME.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED MEN
LIKE YOU TO SUPPORT US.

Laurie: I'M AFRAID
IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.

SEVERAL OF MY CLIENTS STRONGLY
OPPOSE THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT.

IF I SUPPORT IT,
I KNOW THEY WON'T APPROVE.

IT WILL AFFECT
HIS BUSINESS, JO.

Laurie: YOU KNOW THAT
I BELIEVE IN THIS CAUSE,

AND I WILL TRY
TO HELP YOU.

I JUST WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND
THAT I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.

[ ** ]

Bess: HAVE YOU HEARD
HIS HEARTBEAT YET?

WELL SHE PROBABLY WON'T
IF YOU KEEP ON TALKING.

-SOMETHING'S WRONG.
-WHAT? WHAT IS IT?

-I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
-I DON'T HAVE A HEARTBEAT?

NO, YOU HAVE A HEARTBEAT.
I JUST CAN'T HEAR IT YET.

OH, I THOUGHT
I WAS DEAD.

-[ Giggle ]
-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I'M LISTENING
TO TOMMY'S HEART.

-Emil: WHERE'D YOU GET THAT?
-DR. PIERCE.

DR. PIERCE IS LETTING YOU
PLAY WITH HIS STETHOSCOPE?

I'M NOT PLAYIN', EMIL.
I'M PRACTICIN'.

COME HERE,
I'LL LISTEN TO YOUR HEARTBEAT.

NO THANKS.

Rob:
I'M NEXT, NAN.

-I WANT TO SEE
IF I HAVE A HEART.
-ALL RIGHT.

BUT EVERYONE
HAS TO BE QUIET
SO I CAN HEAR IT.

HOW CAN WE SUPPORT
A GOVERNMENT

THAT DENIES WOMEN
THEIR BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS?

RIGHTS THAT EVERY AMERICAN
SHOULD HAVE.

WE NEED TO HAVE
A VOICE IN THIS COUNTRY.

WE NEED TO BE HEARD,
LOUD AND CLEAR.

BUT WE'RE NEVER GOING
TO HAVE THAT VOICE

UNTIL WE'RE GIVEN
THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

Man:
[ Chuckling ]

IF WE ALL PULL TOGETHER,

WE CAN MAKE THEM LISTEN.

WE CAN FINALLY BE HEARD.

Mr. McBride: OH, I HAVE NO DOUBT
YOU HAVE BEEN HEARD, MRS. BHAER.

I'M SURE THAT EVERY CITIZEN
FROM HERE TO NEW YORK

HAS HEARD YOUR
HYSTERICAL OUTBURST TODAY.

HYSTERICAL OUTBURST?

EXCUSE ME.

MAY I HAVE ONE OF THOSE,
PLEASE?

YES, THAT'S...
THAT'S VERY GOOD.

VERY PASSIONATE.

UNFORTUNATELY,
NOT VERY EFFECTIVE.

WELL, THAT ALL DEPENDS ON
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE.

IF YOU WANTED TO
CLEAR MAIN STREET,

I THINK YOU DID
AN EXCELLENT JOB.

LOOK, UM...

MAYBE IT'S TIME
FOR A DIFFERENT APPROACH;

UH, A SHIFT IN THINKING,
SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE...

RADICAL.

WELL, WHAT EXACTLY
ARE YOU SUGGESTING?

A NEW DEPARTURE.
IT'S A...

IT'S A WHOLE NEW WAY OF
INTERPRETING THE CONSTITUTION

THAT SAYS THAT WOMEN ALREADY
HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

HOW CAN THAT
BE POSSIBLE?

READ THE 14th AMENDMENT.

Amy:
THE 14th AMENDMENT?

YES, IT ACTUALLY SAYS
THAT ALL PERSONS BORN
IN THE UNITED STATES

ARE CONSIDERED
CITIZENS.

ALL PERSONS, AMY,
NOT JUST MEN.

SO I'M GOING TO CONTACT
THE SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION

AND SEE IF WE CAN
USE THAT ARGUMENT

TO TAKE THE VOTE
THIS YEAR.

DO YOU REALLY THINK
THAT'S GOING TO WORK?

WELL, I SPOKE
TO HARRISON,

AND HE SEEMS TO THINK
IT'S A BIT CONTROVERSIAL,

BUT WORTH A TRY...

MEG, WHERE ON EARTH
HAVE YOU BEEN?

I'M SORRY. I'VE BEEN
A LITTLE DISTRACTED LATELY.

EDWARD CAME TO TOWN.

OH, WONDERFUL!

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

EDWARD HAS ASKED ME
TO MOVE TO NEW YORK WITH HIM.

WHAT?

EDWARD HAS BEEN OFFERED
A PARTNERSHIP AT HIS FIRM,

SO HE HAS TO MOVE
TO NEW YORK...

PERMANENTLY.

HAS HE PROPOSED?

Meg:
WELL...

NO.

AT FIRST,
I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO,

BUT THEN HE TOLD ME THAT
HIS FIRM WOULD BE LEASING HIM
AN APARTMENT,

AND HE'D BE BUYING
A HOUSE FOR ME NEARBY.

SO YOU'D BE LIVING IN NEW YORK
TOGETHER...

SEPARATELY?

YES, FOR NOW.

BUT HE SAID THAT HE WOULD LIKE
TO CONTINUE OUR COURTSHIP,

AND I'M SURE IT'S JUST A MATTER
OF TIME BEFORE HE DOES PROPOSE.

MEG, HE CAN'T POSSIBLY
EXPECT YOU

TO MOVE TO NEW YORK
WITHOUT A PROPOSAL.

AND QUITE FRANKLY,
I'M APPALLED

THAT HE WOULD EVEN ASK YOU
TO DO SUCH A THING.

-AMY.
-WELL, SHE'S RIGHT.

IF HE'S NOT GOING TO ASK YOU
TO MARRY HIM, MEG,

EXACTLY WHAT ARE
HIS INTENTIONS?

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, I HOPE
HE WANTS TO MARRY ME.

I WOULD REALLY LOVE
TO MARRY HIM.

BUT IF I DON'T MOVE TO NEW YORK,
HE MAY NEVER PROPOSE.

WELL, WHAT IF YOU DO
MOVE TO NEW YORK

AND HE STILL
DOESN'T ASK?

WHAT ARE YOU
SUPPOSED TO DO THEN?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU'RE IN SUCH A HURRY

TO GET MARRIED ANYWAY.

YOU'VE BEEN MANAGING JUST FINE
ON YOUR OWN THE PAST FEW YEARS.

WELL, YES, I KNOW, BUT THAT'S
BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.

I DIDN'T HAVE A MAN AROUND
TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS.

TO TAKE CARE OF ME.

I MISS THAT.
I MISS...

BEING MARRIED.

AND I LOVE EDWARD.

WELL...

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

I DON'T KNOW.

[ ** ]

-WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
-IT'S MR. KENNEDY.

HE'S TAKEN A TURN
FOR THE WORSE.

QUICK, GET ME
THE FORCEPS.

BUT YOU JUST TOOK
HIS APPENDIX OUT LAST WEEK,

AND YOU SAID
HE WAS FINE.

HE WAS, BUT HE DEVELOPED
AN INFECTION.

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

I'M CUTTING AWAY
THE DEAD TISSUE

TO TRY TO PREVENT THE INFECTION
FROM SPREADING.

HE'S BURNIN' UP.

COLD COMPRESSES. WE NEED
TO BRING HIS FEVER DOWN.

I NEED TO CAUTERIZE THE WOUND.
NAN, UH,

QUICK, GET ME
THE NITRIC ACID.

IT'S IN THE CUPBOARD,
SECOND BOTTLE FROM THE LEFT.

WHAT'S WRONG?

IT'S TOO LATE, NAN.

NO, IT'S NOT, HERE'S THE ACID.
WE CAN CAUTERIZE IT.

THERE'S NOTHING
MORE WE CAN DO.

BUT WE CAN'T
JUST GIVE UP.

HE'S GONE, NAN.

NO! YOU SAID HE
WAS GONNA BE FINE.

[ Sigh ]

[ Sobbing ]

I'M SORRY.

Mr. McBride:
AND REMEMBER, GENTLEMEN,

THAT IT IS YOUR CIVIC DUTY
TO VOTE,

SO BE SURE TO
REGISTER HERE TODAY.

MORE TEA?

UH, NO. THANKS.

YOU'RE THE POLLING
OFFICIAL?

YES, THE MAYOR WAS KIND ENOUGH
TO APPOINT ME.

ACTUALLY,
I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU.

YOU'RE JUST IN TIME TO HELP
THE OTHER LADIES SERVE TEA.

I'M NOT HERE TO SERVE YOU,
MR. McBRIDE.

AH. THEN YOU'RE HERE
TO ENTERTAIN US AGAIN

WITH ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR,
UH, HYSTERICAL OUTBURSTS?

ACTUALLY NO,
I'M HERE TO REGISTER TO VOTE.

OH, HOW NOVEL.

IT IS MY
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.

YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT?

AS A CITIZEN.

AH, BUT YOU SEE, MRS. BHAER,
WOMEN ARE NOT CITIZENS.

WELL, THEN, MR. McBRIDE,

IT APPEARS THAT YOU HAVEN'T READ
THE 14th AMENDMENT RECENTLY,

BECAUSE IF YOU HAD,

YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED
THAT IT READS:

"ALL PERSONS,
BORN OR NATURALIZED

IN THE UNITED STATES

AND SUBJECT TO
THE JURISDICTION THEREOF,

ARE CITIZENS OF
THE UNITED STATES

AND OF THE STATE
WHEREIN THEY RESIDE."

SO AS A CITIZEN,
I THEREFORE AM ENTITLED

TO ALL THE RIGHTS
OF CITIZENSHIP,

INCLUDING THE RIGHT
TO VOTE.

READ FURTHER, MRS. BHAER,
AND YOU WILL LEARN

THAT IN THE SECOND SECTION
OF THE 14th AMENDMENT,

IT DEFINES A VOTER
AS A MALE INHABITANT

BEING AT LEAST
21 YEARS OF AGE.

FURTHERMORE,
THE 15th AMENDMENT

GUARANTEES THE RIGHT
TO VOTE TO ALL MEN

REGARDLESS OF RACE OR PREVIOUS
CONDITION OF SERVITUDE.

ALL MEN,
MRS. BHAER,

NOT WOMEN.

I WILL VOTE IN THIS ELECTION
NEXT WEEK, MR. McBRIDE,

WHETHER YOU REGISTER ME
OR NOT.

YOU DO SO, MRS. BHAER,

AND I WILL HAVE YOU
ARRESTED.

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

Meg:
SHE TOLD HIM

THAT SHE WAS GOING TO
SHOW UP TO VOTE NEXT WEEK,

AND THEN McBRIDE THREATENED
TO HAVE HER ARRESTED.

-HMM.
-HE CAN'T DO THAT, CAN HE?

HE MOST CERTAINLY CAN.

BUT SHE MENTIONED SOMETHING
CALLED A NEW DEPARTURE.

AH, YES, THE NEW WOMEN'S
SUFFRAGE STRATEGY.

IT HAS NO LEGAL FOUNDATION.
IT'S MERELY AN EXCUSE

THESE WOMEN HAVE COME UP WITH
TO JUSTIFY THEIR UNLAWFUL
BEHAVIOR,

AND THERE ISN'T A COURT
IN THE COUNTRY

THAT WOULD SEE IT
AS ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT.

IF THEY REALLY WANT
TO ELICIT CHANGE,

THEY SHOULD FIND A MORE
CIVILIZED WAY TO DO IT.

BUT IF THEY DON'T SPEAK UP
FOR THEMSELVES,

HOW WILL THEY EVER
BE NOTICED?

THEY HAVE BEEN NOTICED.

BUT IF THEY EXPECT
TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY,

THEY NEED TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES
IN A MORE LADYLIKE FASHION.

THEY'D BE WISE
TO TAKE A LESSON FROM YOU.

WELL, I THINK WE'VE WASTED
ENOUGH TIME TALKING
ABOUT POLITICS.

LET'S TALK ABOUT NEW YORK.

OH, YES, NEW YORK.

MEG, I KNOW THIS WILL BE
AN ADJUSTMENT FOR YOU, BUT...

YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT THERE.
IT'S A WONDERFUL CITY.

I'M SURE IT IS.
IT'S JUST...

WHAT?
WHAT IS IT?

EDWARD, I...

I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHY YOU WANT
ME TO MOVE TO NEW YORK WITH YOU.

MEG, YOU KNOW WHY.

SO THAT WE CAN SPEND
MORE TIME TOGETHER.

SO YOU WON'T BE TRAVELING
AS MUCH?

WELL, NO, I WILL BE
STILL TRAVELING A LOT.

BUT AT LEAST I WILL
HAVE YOU TO COME HOME TO.

ME TO COME HOME TO?

BUT WE WON'T BE
LIVING TOGETHER.

UH, NO, BUT WE'LL BE
IN THE SAME CITY.

YES, I KNOW.

I GUESS...

WELL, I SUPPOSE
WHAT I'M WONDERING IS...

WHAT ARE YOUR
INTENTIONS?

[ Snort ]
MY INTENTIONS?

OH, AH,
YES, I SEE.

YOU WANT TO
KNOW IF...

IF I INTEND
TO MARRY YOU.

-DO YOU?
-WELL, UH,

I HAVEN'T REALLY
GIVEN IT MUCH THOUGHT.

I SUPPOSE I DID...

I-I ASSUMED...

THAT WE WOULD BE
MARRIED EVENTUALLY.

OH.

MEG, IF THE ONLY REASON THAT
YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TO NEW YORK

IS BECAUSE I...

I HAVEN'T PROPOSED
TO YOU, I...

WE CAN SOLVE
THAT PROBLEM RIGHT NOW.

EDWARD...

MY DARLING MEG...

NOTHING WOULD
MAKE ME HAPPIER

THAN TO SPEND THE REST OF
MY LIFE LOOKING AFTER YOU
AND YOUR CHILDREN.

WOULD YOU DO ME THE HONOR
OF BECOMING MY WIFE?

EDWARD...

THIS IS A VERY BIG
DECISION FOR ME.

WOULD YOU MIND TERRIBLY
IF I TOOK SOME TIME
TO THINK ABOUT IT?

UM... UH...

OF COURSE.

UH, T-TAKE AS MUCH TIME
AS YOU NEED. UH...

BUT JUST...
JUST THINK...

THINK ABOUT THE WONDERFUL LIFE
WE'LL HAVE TOGETHER
IN NEW YORK,

AS MR. AND MRS.
EDWARD TRENTON.

[ ** ]

Jo:
LAURIE!

LAURIE, WAIT.

UH, JO, UH, I CAN'T TALK LONG.
I'M EXPECTING A CLIENT.

I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU
FOR HELPING ME PAY FOR
THESE POSTERS.

UH, WELL,
YOU'RE WELCOME.

I KNOW THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT
FOR YOU GETTING INVOLVED
IN THIS.

JO, IT WAS
NOTHING, REALLY.

AH, MR. KEATON.

PLEASE GO RIGHT INSIDE.

I'LL BE WITH YOU
IN JUST A MINUTE.

[ Sigh ]

JO, I'M SORRY.

ONE OF MY CLIENTS
PULLED HIS ACCOUNT TODAY

BECAUSE HE FOUND OUT
YOU'RE MY SISTER-IN-LAW.

WHAT?

I HAVE TO GO.

[ Deep breaths ]

[ Sigh ]
NO. IT'S NO USE.

I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW
TO WORK THIS THING.

NAN, YOU CAN DO IT.
YOU JUST NEED TO KEEP ON TRYING.

-NO, I CAN'T!
-YES, YOU CAN.

YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THAT
THING TO WORK FOR DAYS, NAN.

I DON'T SEE
WHY YOU'RE BOTHERING.

IF SHE'S GONNA BE A DOCTOR,
SHE'S GOTTA PRACTICE, RIGHT?

SHE'S JUST WASTING HER TIME.
SHE'LL NEVER BE A DOCTOR.

Nat:
WHO SAYS SHE CAN'T?

SHE'S A GIRL, NAT.
AND EVERYONE KNOWS

THAT GIRLS CAN'T
BE DOCTORS.

Nat:
YES, THEY CAN.

Emil: HOW MANY FEMALE DOCTORS
DO YOU KNOW?

WELL, NAN,
YOU SAID YOURSELF

THERE ARE TWO MEDICAL SCHOOLS
JUST FOR WOMEN.

THAT MEANS THERE'LL BE
PLENTY OF FEMALE DOCTORS,

AND NAN'S GONNA
BE ONE OF 'EM.

Emil:
WELL, DON'T EXPECT ME TO
BE ONE OF HER PATIENTS.

NAN, DON'T LISTEN TO HIM.
I THINK YOU'LL MAKE
A GREAT DOCTOR.

MAYBE I'M JUST NOT CUT
OUT TO BE A DOCTOR.

I'M NOT STRONG
LIKE DR. PIERCE.

WHEN MR. KENNEDY DIED,
WHAT DID I DO?

-I CRIED.
-THAT'S JUST BECAUSE
YOU CARE ABOUT PEOPLE,

AND THAT'S WHAT BEIN'
A DOCTOR IS ALL ABOUT.

YOU'LL GET IT. YOU HAVE
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

JO, IF YOU TRY TO VOTE,
YOU'RE GOING TO GET ARRESTED.

WELL, IF I GET ARRESTED,
THEN I GET ARRESTED.

JO, YOU'RE BEING COMPLETELY
IRRATIONAL ABOUT THIS.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SCHOOL
IF YOU GET THROWN IN JAIL?

PLEASE, THINK ABOUT
WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

[ Approaching footsteps ]

Amy:
MEG, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

MAYBE YOU CAN TALK
SOME SENSE INTO HER.

EDWARD JUST ASKED
ME TO MARRY HIM.

REALLY?
THAT'S WONDERFUL!

CONGRATULATIONS.

WELL, THEN, I GUESS THIS MEANS
YOU'LL BE MOVING TO NEW YORK
AFTER ALL.

WELL, I HAVEN'T ACCEPTED
HIS PROPOSAL YET.

BUT, MEG, I THOUGHT YOU SAID
YOU WANTED TO MARRY EDWARD.

I DO. IT'S...

JUST THE THOUGHT OF
MOVING TO NEW YORK.

BUT IF THAT'S WHERE
HE NEEDS TO BE...

BUT HE SAID HE'D STILL BE DOING
A GREAT DEAL OF TRAVELING.

WELL, THEN, IF THAT'S THE CASE,
WHY DOESN'T HE MOVE HERE
TO CONCORD?

WELL, SHE CAN'T EXPECT HIM
TO CHANGE HIS WHOLE LIFE AROUND.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT
HE'S EXPECTING OF HER.

THAT'S NOT
THE SAME THING, JO.

WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE HIS LIFE
IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HERS?

I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

WHY DON'T WE ALL
JUST ADMIT IT?

MEG HAS NO SAY AT ALL
IN WHERE THEY LIVE.

JO, I THINK THAT EDWARD WILL
AT LEAST CONSIDER MY OPINION.

I HOPE SO, MEG.

HEY, DR. PIERCE.

NAN?

OH, I MUST ADMIT, I'M A LITTLE
SURPRISED TO SEE YOU HERE.

WHY?

WELL, YOU WERE SO UPSET
AFTER MR. KENNEDY DIED,

I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D
WANT TO COME BACK.

WELL, I COULDN'T
JUST GIVE UP.

I MEAN, MEDICINE'S ALL ABOUT
TAKIN' CARE OF PEOPLE.

WE GOT A WHOLE ROOM
OF WAITIN' PATIENTS OUT THERE.

NAN, I AM REALLY
PROUD OF YOU.

-[ Pleased chuckle ]
-A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD
HAVE GIVEN UP

AFTER WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH
THE OTHER DAY.

THE FACT THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO
PICK YOURSELF UP AND MOVE ON

SHOWS ME THAT YOU HAVE
THE STRENGTH OF CHARACTER

TO SUCCEED
IN MEDICINE.

[ Pleased chuckle ]

YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE
A WONDERFUL NURSE SOMEDAY.

N-NURSE?

YOU MEAN DOCTOR.

-WHAT?
-WELL, I'M GONNA BE
A DOCTOR. JUST LIKE YOU.

OH, NAN, I-IF I HAD KNOWN
THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE THINKING,

I-I NEVER WOULD
HAVE ENCOURAGED YOU.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, BEING A DOCTOR
IS VERY DIFFICULT.

I-IT TAKES YEARS OF...
OF DEDICATION AND HARD WORK.

WELL, YOU'VE SEEN
HOW HARD I CAN WORK.

THIS, UH, THIS... THIS
PROFESSION IS JUST NOT SUITED

TO THE EMOTIONAL
NATURE OF WOMEN.

I-IT'S NOT FOR
THE WEAK OF HEART.

BUT YOU SAID
I WAS STRONG ENOUGH.

STRONG ENOUGH TO BE
A NURSE, YES. BUT A DOCTOR?

I'M SORRY.

MRS. JO SAID THAT
I CAN BE WHATEVER I WANT,

AND I'M GONNA
BE A DOCTOR.

DAN, WHERE'S MRS. JO?

SHE'S, UM,
ON THE PORCH.

Nick: WELL, IF IT MEANS
THAT MUCH TO YA,

I'LL VOTE FOR YA.

JUST TELL ME
WHO YA WANT.

NICK...

I KNOW IT'S NOT GONNA SOLVE
ALL YOUR PROBLEMS,

BUT AT LEAST
IT'S SOMETHIN'.

THE WHOLE POINT IS
THAT YOU AND I SHOULD
HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS,

AND WE DON'T.

AND IT'S NOT JUST
ABOUT VOTING EITHER.

I MEAN,
LOOK AT ALL THE PARENTS

WHO PULLED THEIR BOYS OUT OF
THE SCHOOL AFTER FRITZ DIED.

THEY DID THAT BECAUSE THEY
DIDN'T THINK THAT A WOMAN

WAS CAPABLE OF RUNNING
A BUSINESS ON HER OWN, NICK.

AND WITHOUT FRITZ, WOULD I
HAVE EVEN BEEN ABLE TO START
THE SCHOOL IN THE FIRST PLACE?

-PROBABLY NOT.
-AW, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THAT, JO.

I GOT A FEELIN' YOU WOULD'VE
FOUND A WAY TO DO IT,

-NO MATTER WHAT.
-[ Sigh ]

I DON'T KNOW, NICK.
I...

I JUST DON'T KNOW IF
I'M DOING THE RIGHT THING.

I MEAN, LAURIE IS RIGHT.
IF I DO TRY AND VOTE,

THE ONLY THING THAT WILL HAPPEN
IS I'LL GET THROWN IN JAIL,

AND ALL THAT'S GOING TO DO
IS PUT THE SCHOOL AT RISK AGAIN.

MAYBE I SHOULD THINK ABOUT
GIVING UP.

WELL, YOU KNEW THIS WASN'T
GONNA BE EASY.

NOTHING WORTH
FIGHTIN' FOR EVER IS.

I JUST DIDN'T THINK
IT WAS GOING TO BE
THIS DIFFICULT.

NO ONE IS SUPPORTING ME,
NICK, NOT EVEN MY FAMILY.

IN FACT,
IT'S TEARING US APART.

IT JUST ISN'T WORTH IT.

Jo:
NAN?

WHERE ARE YOU GOING
WITH ALL OF THIS?

I'M GONNA GIVE IT BACK
TO DR. PIERCE.

THERE'S NO POINT IN PRACTICING
IF I CAN'T BE A DOCTOR.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

DR. PIERCE SAID THAT
WOMEN CAN'T BE DOCTORS.

HE SAID THAT TO YOU?

YEAH, BUT I'LL MAKE
A REALLY NICE NURSE, THOUGH.

NAN.

HONEY, YOU SHOULDN'T
GIVE UP,

JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE TELL YOU
THAT YOU CAN'T DO IT.

WHY NOT? YOU ARE.

I HEARD YOU TALKING TO NICK
TODAY AND YOU WERE RIGHT.

WE ARE NEVER GONNA BE
TREATED THE SAME AS MEN,

SO WHY EVEN
BOTHER TRYIN'.

[ ** ]

Meg:
YOU'RE WHAT?

I'M VOTING
IN THE ELECTION TOMORROW.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE STILL
GOING THROUGH WITH THIS.

THINK ABOUT
THE SCHOOL.

I AM THINKING ABOUT IT.

THAT'S EXACTLY
WHY I'M DOING THIS.

I'M DOING IT FOR
THE TWO GIRLS IN MY SCHOOL,

ONE OF WHOM
IS YOUR DAUGHTER.

MEG, YOU HAVE
A DAUGHTER AS WELL.

YOU LOOK THEM IN THE EYE
AND YOU TELL THEM

THAT THEY'RE NOT
WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

THAT YOU DON'T CARE
IF THEY GROW UP

TO BE SECOND-CLASS
CITIZENS.

I'M SORRY, I CAN'T.

NOW AS FAR
AS I'M CONCERNED,

I HAVE TO VOTE IN
THAT ELECTION TOMORROW.

I COULDN'T LIVE
WITH MYSELF IF I DIDN'T.

MEG!

COME AROUND HERE.

WHOA.

MEG, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
YOU EVERYWHERE.

-I WAS AT AMY'S.
-AH!

I GOT A TELEGRAM
FROM MY OFFICE.

THEY WANT ME
IN NEW YORK RIGHT AWAY,

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I'M LEAVING
TOMORROW NIGHT.

TOMORROW?

YES.

I KNOW THAT I-I PROMISED
TO GIVE YOU SOME TIME

TO CONSIDER
MY PROPOSAL, BUT...

OH, I REALLY
NEED YOUR...

-I REALLY NEED YOUR ANSWER NOW.
-EDWARD, I...

HAVEN'T MADE
MY DECISION YET.

OH. OH, I SEE.

OH, IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T
WANT TO MARRY YOU. I DO.

IT'S JUST THAT NEW YORK
IS SO FAR AWAY FROM MY FAMILY.

I WILL BE YOUR FAMILY.

EDWARD...

ISN'T THERE ANY WAY...

THAT YOU COULD
MOVE TO CONCORD?

MEG, [ Chuckle ] CONCORD?
DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

BUT YOU SAID YOU'D STILL BE
DOING A GREAT DEAL OF TRAVELING.

COULDN'T YOU AT LEAST
CONSIDER IT?

THERE IS NOTHING
TO CONSIDER.

WE HAVE TO MOVE
TO NEW YORK.

DON'T YOU CARE AT ALL
ABOUT WHAT I WANT?

MEG, WHAT HAS
GOTTEN INTO YOU?

I JUST THINK MY OPINION
SHOULD COUNT FOR SOMETHING.

OPINION.

MEG, THIS IS NOT LIKE YOU.
YOU'RE STARTING TO SOUND
LIKE YOUR SISTER JO.

LOOK, I KNOW...

I KNOW THIS IS ALL
HAPPENING VERY QUICKLY,

AND I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU
MORE TIME, BUT I CAN'T.

I HAVE TO GO TO
NEW YORK TOMORROW,

AND I...

I WANT YOU TO COME WITH ME,
AND I HOPE YOU WILL.

I'LL BE AT MY HOTEL.

[ ** ]

McBride: AGAIN, GENTLEMEN,
YOU MAY PLACE YOUR BALLOTS

IN ANY ONE OF
THESE FOUR BOXES.

AT THE END OF THE DAY,
WE SHALL HAVE IT TALLIED UP...

I'M HERE TO VOTE,
MR. McBRIDE.

OF COURSE YOU ARE.

I-IT WOULD GO
AGAINST YOUR NATURE

NOT TO PERFORM SUCH
AN IRRATIONAL ACT.

THE VERY FACT
THAT YOU ARE HERE,

KNOWING FULL WELL
THAT YOUR ACTIONS

WILL HAVE SERIOUS
CONSEQUENCES,

-PROVES THAT WOMEN
ARE INCAPABLE...
-Man: HEAR, HEAR.

OF LOGICAL,
RATIONAL THOUGHT.

I KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT I'M DOING.

I WILL HAVE YOU ARRESTED.

Asia: THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO
ARREST ME TOO.

Crowd:
[ Murmurs of surprise ]

Amy: ME TOO.

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE
WE'RE ALL VOTING TODAY.

IF YOU TRY TO VOTE,

YOU WILL ALL BE
THROWN IN JAIL.

[ ** ]

[ Squeaking of hinges ]

I CAN'T BELIEVE
WE'RE IN JAIL.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE
THE INSIDE OF THIS PLACE.

WELL, AT LEAST NOW
YOU CAN SAY YOU'VE SEEN IT.

HOW LONG ARE THEY GOING TO
KEEP US IN HERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

THEY'LL PROBABLY SET A HEARING
FOR TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
CRIMINAL RECORDS NOW.

AMY, DON'T YOU SEE
WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED?

YES, WE'RE IN JAIL.

WE MADE THEM NOTICE US.

YES, WE DID.

WE SHOWED THEM THAT WE'RE GOING
TO STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS.

NOW IT MAY HAVE ONLY BEEN
THE FOUR OF US TODAY,

BUT NEXT YEAR,
THERE'LL BE MORE WOMEN.

LAURIE!

[ Sigh ] I JUST CAME HERE
TO TELL YOU

THAT THE SHERIFF IS GETTING
READY TO RELEASE YOU.

RELEASE US?

I POSTED BAIL
FOR ALL OF YOU.

[ Sighs of relief ]

LAURIE?

WHAT ABOUT
YOUR CLIENTS?

WELL, I DON'T CARE
WHAT THEY THINK.

I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO KNOW
THAT SHE'S WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

[ ** ]

Crowd:
[ Hushed murmurs ]

Nan:
[ Clapping ]

[ ** ]

[ ** ]

WHAT HAPPENED?

I MADE MY DECISION.

MEG, I'M SO SORRY FOR GETTING
YOU INVOLVED IN THIS.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, JO.

I MADE THE DECISION
TO DO THIS,

KNOWING FULL WELL WHAT EDWARD
WOULD FEEL ABOUT IT.

[ Sigh ]
I JUST WISH HE COULD HAVE...

Harrison:
SORRY TO INTERRUPT, LADIES,

I-I JUST THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT LIKE

TO TAKE A LOOK AT AN ADVANCE
COPY OF TOMORROW'S NEWSPAPER.

YOU MADE HISTORY
IN CONCORD.

AND WOMEN LIKE YOU
HAVE SET AN EXAMPLE

THAT OTHERS WILL
FOLLOW FOR YEARS.

NOT THAT IT DIDN'T
COME WITHOUT SACRIFICE.

WHAT YOU DID TODAY
TOOK A GREAT DEAL OF COURAGE.

I ADMIRE YOU FOR THAT.

[ Reading ] HISTORY MADE
AS WOMEN VOTE IN CONCORD.

[ Cheering/laughing ]

Nick: YOU SURE
YOU DIDN'T DO ALL THIS

JUST TO GET YOUR NAME
IN THE NEWSPAPER AGAIN?

[ Chuckle ]

IT'S QUITE A DAY, HUH?

YEAH. WHO'D 'A THOUGHT
I'D BE THE ONE

WAITIN' FOR YOU
TO GET OUT OF JAIL?

MM, WITH ALL THE COMMOTION
YOU CAUSED TODAY,

I ALMOST DIDN'T
HAVE TIME TO VOTE.

YOU VOTED?

WELL, I FIGURED
IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO SEE

WHAT ALL THE FUSS
WAS ABOUT.

HMM, I THINK THAT'S
WONDERFUL, NICK.

WHO DID YOU VOTE FOR?

WELL, I CAN'T
TELL YA THAT.

IT'S PRIVATE.

[ ** ]

NAN?

I CAN HEAR IT.

I CAN HEAR MY HEARTBEAT.

LISTEN.

CAN YOU HEAR IT?

LOUD AND CLEAR.
