Een belangrijke gebeurtenis in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis wordt in Iron Jawed Angels op een geheel nieuwe en eigentijdse wijze bekeken. Gebaseerd op het waargebeurde verhaal waarin is te zien hoe de opstandige en geniale jonge activisten Alice Paul, gespeeld door Hilary Swank (Boys don't cry, Insomnia) en Lucy Burns, gespeeld door Frances O'Connor (Windtalkers, Artificial Intelligence: Al), de vrouwenbeweging die strijd voor stemrecht overweldigde, waarbij zij hun eigen levens op het spel zetten om stemrecht voor Amerikaanse vrouwen te verkrijgen. The dramatized story of Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, leaders of the suffragist women who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment. They broke from the mainstream women's rights movement to create a more activist wing, daring to push the boundaries to secure women's voting rights in 1920.

Open and competitive elections governed by widely accepted rules and procedures are essential to the legitimacy of any political system. Elections assesses the history and development of five building blocks of the Canadian electoral regime: the franchise, electoral districts, voter registration, election machinery, and plurality voting. Arguing that on balance the Canadian electoral system is truly democratic, John Courtney demonstrates its vast improvements over the years. The right to vote is now generously interpreted. The process of redrawing electoral districts is no longer in the hands of elected officials. Voter registration lists include all but a small share of eligible voters. And those who manage and supervise elections on behalf of all citizens are honest and trustworthy officials. Using the recent push for reform of the plurality vote system as one example, Courtney also examines why certain electoral institutions have been amenable to change and others have not. In a democracy it is important for citizens to understand the most essential parts of their own electoral system. Elections is an ideal primer for undergraduate students, journalists, politicians, and citizens interested in the current state of Canadian democracy.
