非典型女性：时代开拓者

剧情简介

Timed with the 2020 women&#39s suffrage centennial, American Masters - Unladylike2020: The Changemakers takes a look at women whose courage and tenacity 100 years ago shaped the political life and future of this nation. Their accomplishments were instrumental in accomplishing voting rights for women -- but also in improving the quality of life for all citizens. This hour-long PBS American Masters animated documentary film will present profiles of five little-known women trailblazers who were active in government, civil rights, and citizenship rights, behaving in ways that placed them outside the mainstream of expected behaviors for &#39ladies&#39 at the turn of the 20th century. They include: Martha Hughes Cannon, the country&#39s first female state senator Jovita Idar, a journalist, and president of one of the first Mexican American women&#39s civil rights organizations Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress Mary Church Terrell, a leader in the anti-lynching movement and a founder of the NAACP and Zitkála-Sá, aka Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, who lobbied for U.S. citizenship, voting rights and sovereignty for American Indians a century ago.
