A Single Woman

A Single Woman

Discover America's Real First Lady

PG 2008 · 92 min · ★ 5.5 · Drama

A Single Woman is a distinct, lively portrait of Jeannette Rankin (the first American woman elected to Congress; also a suffragist, peace activist and reformer) that takes us from her childhood in 1880's Montana, to her last television interview in 1972. Deliciously political, occasionally chilling, ironic and idiosyncratic, A Single Woman illuminates the role of the individual in the American legislative process with a whimsical amalgamation of storytelling, high-powered discourse and communion. The program is a filmed version of the successful stage play.

Directed by Kamala Lopez · Written by Jeanmarie Simpson
