Oscar nominee Patricia Clarkson is a winner in the title role. But the movie itself never reaches the heights that it should.

An important movie to see to remind us of what women had to fight for to get equality in the workplace. A brave woman that we should not forget. Good acting with well placed real footage of congress and the politics of the time

Its an important story and likely one that was very difficult to get financing for. If you believe in equal pay for equal work, support this movie, buy a ticket. Do it for your Mom.
