The League of Women Voters is hosting a viewing of the film “Iron Jawed Angels” on Jan. 30 in the large meeting room of the Austin Public Library, in celebration of the 90th year of the signing of the 19th amendment.

That amendment gave women the right to vote.

“Iron Jawed Angels” is about two women who fought for women’s suffrage.

Feb. 1 will be “LWV Making Democracy Work Day.”

The LWV will meet with Austin Mayor Tom Stiehm at the Mower County Historical Society to sign a proclamation declaring the LWV is a non-partisan political organization that works to improve the system of government and impact public policies through education and advocacy.

The day will also commemorate the 90th anniversary of the 19th amendment and urge all Mower County residents to pay tribute to the LWV for what the group does in the community.
