Just Like the Men
After Washington State grants women's suffrage in 1912, two women upset the politics of society when they decide to run for office.
Just Like the Men is an original silent film written in 1914 by Ella Higginson, a novelist, poet laureate, and campaign manager for Frances Axtell. Their campaign was a success making Axtell one of the first women in Washington State to be sworn into legislative office. 100+ years later, this screwball-comedy offers a glimpse of women's first entrance into politics, just in time for the 2020 centennial of women's suffrage.
