Watch Films About Women’s History

Want to share this passion with the future women and men of America? Here are some movies that would be great to watch with girls and boys of older ages, empowering them to care for and support the cause:

• Anne Frank Remembered (1995). This documentary film uses interviews and updated information to fill in the important story of Anne Frank, whose Jewish family went into hiding in an attic for more than two years during World War II.

• Amelia (2009). This dramatized version reveals bits and pieces of the life of Amelia Earhart, the first female pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic, who mysteriously disappeared in an attempt to fly around the world. This film stars Hilary Swank, Richard Gere and Ewan McGregor.

• Girl Rising (2013). Another documentary, this one reveals the plight of young girls in impoverished places who are trying to rise above their circumstances, particularly in places where a priority is not placed on the education of girls.

• Radium Girls (2018). Based on the true story of a group of factory women in the 1920s who fought back against huge radium companies and unsafe working conditions that caused them to get radiation poisoning and would eventually lead to their deaths.
