An excellent movie - Get Low - nice story, no swearing or smoking and a happy ending.

A talk at the SMSA was on Maybank Anderson was a married woman and so had no rights to her own children or to her earings within the marriage and could not vote even if she owned property and paid taxes.  She divorced and was a single parent at a time when divorced women were social outcasts, and her success in influencing all-male powerbrokers via her writing and speaking skills.  An interesting lecture.
