Ken Burns: Not for Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Susan B. Anthony DVD

Comments about PBS Not for Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Susan B. Anthony DVD:

It is an exceptional documentary, extremely well done. Every young woman, or even teen should see it, to fully understand the tremendous value and power of our vote. And to know how much determination some goals require. A must see for women.

OUTSTANDING STORY OF TWO WOMEN WITH COURAGE AND DETERMINATION TO OVERCOME UNJUST DOMINATION BY MEN THAT WAS FORGED IN OUR NATIONAL MYTHS AND INSTITUTIONS. I HAD TO STOP MY ORDER AT FOUR COPIES BECAUSE IF I SENT A COPY TO ALL THE WOMEN I LOVE AND RESPECT, I'D HAVE GONE BROKE.

Most women don't know the history and sacrifice behind why we can now vote. Both Mrs. Stanton and Susan B. Anthony worked most of their lives for the right for women to vote. Along the way we earned the right to own property, earn an education by degree and many other accomplishments we now take for granted. This movie made me cry, why? Because as second and third class citizens (you'll understand what I mean when you see this movie) it took over 50 years for women to earn the right to vote - Stanton and Anthony gave up most of their personal lives canvassing the U.S.A with speeches so that we can make our mark on history and have some say as to who gets voted into office. I am so grateful that I finally found out where our female "voting right roots" came from - unfortunately 15+ years after both women had died (and didn't get to reap the rewards themselves), the hard earned rewards arrived for the rest of us. Every woman should see this along with their family and friends and thank our brave, heroic women who gave up so much so that we could get ahead and be part of who we were meant to be . . . United States citizens in full. Thank You Ken Burns! Another great epic film.

I saw this several years ago on PBS and it has been haunting me ever since. I am buying the DVD so that all my female friends, especially my young nieces must see this. This story was not told in our history classes. We simply heard the year that women got the right to vote. This is a story of the true dedication and sacrifice these women made for us. They must always be revered and we must forever be grateful.

Words fail at expressing how deeply this single video has affected me.

Ken Burns' unique ability to capture and impart their dual struggle is an experience neither male nor female should deny themselves.

Coming from different backgrounds, education and social classes these women united in one common cause to change the future of all women which continues to this very day.

It cannot be recommended highly enough.
